Hi ,
Has anyone else had weird things happen with their Autostars since upgrading to the latest version? Let me explain what I mean: I did a polar alignment, then a 2 star alignment with a reticle eyepiece. So far so good. I tried to go to Mizar in Ursa Major, and was no where near it. I slewed over to the right location, did a 'synch'. Back to Polaris, and it's dead on, even in the reticle eyepiece. Try another goto to Mizar, and it's off...waaaaay off. Tried another synch. GOTO anywhere else and I am waaaay off again. Back to Polaris and it's bang on.
I did a reset, drive train, drive calibrate, easy align, one and two star alignments and still the same thing. None of my goto's worked, and normally I am in the field of view of my 12.5mm.
Anyone else?
Thanks,
