The weather has finally broken here, and I've had my LXD75 6" SN out the last two nights. I don't have an autostar- I've got the EC version of the scope, with the hand controller.
My problem is this: the scope, for reasons unknown to me, often inexplicably switches into high speed slewing mode from tracking mode or from slower slewing speeds. Sometimes when this happens, I cannot get slewing to stop, and I've actually had to power cycle the mount electronics to regain control before the OTA reaches the tripod legs!
Has anybody else experienced theis sort of behavior? I talked a guy in my Astro club last evening who had similiar eperiences with the old LXD55.
Any help appreciated,
Mark
