celestron c5 gone crazyPosted By dominic maionchi |
The last two outings my clestron c5 has had two problems, both of which make it inoperable.
First, after alignment, when I go to any object it goes there but then the handset freezes and continues to pretend its still slewing to object. None of the buttons work. I have to restart and reboot.
In the alternate, if I don't align and just wish to go to my favorite objects when I push the right arrow it just continues to slew to the right indefinately and the handset becomes unresponsive; none of the buttons work.
I thought that the second problem might be due to a stuck button but I opened up the nexstar handset and it fine.
Has anyone heard of this problem? Do I need a new handset? What should I do?
thanks,
dom
