Pushing the right arrow key several times doesn't always get me in. Is there a trick? Last night while watching Neil's broadcast (great show by the way), I noticed he sometimes had the same problem. Did I miss something in the manual? -------------------- Patrick G Celestron NS11 GPS Tele Vue 102 Miyauchi 20x77 binos Post Extras:       Jack Huerkamp Vendor - Waning Moon Reged: 10/13/05 Posts: 519 Loc: Louisiana Re: MCHP...Zoom button [Re: Pat G.]       #2319750 - 04/11/08 02:01 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   It helps to have the camera in the 2 second mode when zooming. If in a longer exposure mode, the delay in seeing a response to the activation of the zoom will occur.
