Atlas hand controller - no text
      #3393918 - 10/17/09 12:02 AM

Well, tonight was the first clear weekend night for imaging in about 5 weeks. I was ready to go....but the hand controller was blank....it was lit up, and I could make the mount slew after a few Enter commands, but there was nothing to read. Luckily I have EQMOD on the laptop so I decided it was better to spend an hour to get it running for the first time than to pack it in for the night. Everything is going ok as I type this so the night is still a productive one.

I guess I'll be calling Orion tomorrow and asking for a warranty replacement.
