Advice for shipping a SCT back to Celestron?

Posted By Joe Lalumia
The sure fire way is as said above PLUS call your homeowners insurance agent and purchase a one time RIDER for the scope on your homeowner's insurance. UPS & FEDX insurance is not worth very much.

Again........call your insurance agent and take out a RIDER for the scope shipment.........its cheap......then you WILL GET PAID if something happens.

Run away dec and ra

Posted By Joe Lalumia
Yes I have heard of this as one or the other but not both. However the fix has usually been one of the following:

1. Software in Autostar is corrupted........download the latest version, and do a RESET, calibrate motors, train motors, and calibrate sensors.

2. Bad autostar cable.

3. Low voltage.......low batteries, make sure the voltage is stable at 12 volts. New batteries......get AC power adapter, or 12volt battery power supply.

4. Broken autostar (get a new one)

5. Short inside the ra or dec circuits.....or bad board.
