Hello all,name is Sean and live in Fresno Tex just a ways from Houston. My question in what in bejeezus am I doing wrong in trying to align my Celestron ASGT mount and be able to GOTO. I know I am sighting Polaris properly. I have used Solar Sytem align(Venus) and Two star align (I.E Sirius and Betelguese) and the scope tells me its now aligned for GOTO and when i punch in a target,it goes everywhere BUT to the target!!!!! HELP!! I have in the proper State,city,Latitude and time. What am i doing wrong? Is anyone else pulling out their hair trying to align their ASGT???? I have mounted on it a Meade LXD 6 inch Newtonian. I have a Orion Atlas 10 inch Newt but its just too big for the ASGT. Thanx,Deperate in Texas.

Any other suggestions out there? Is anyone a ASGT expert with some advice for this extremely frustrated Astronomy lover??? Its been cloudy so have not had a chance last few days to go through all the steps again but I have done two star and 3 star and leveled the bubble and balanced the tube and even defaulted the darn thing.I know from its reputation and reading reviews that once its gets going its a good goto mount. Im an amateur but ive been an amateur for a good 25 years only this is my first GOTO mount.So I know the stars im choosing and centering them correctly. Thanks.. Sean.
