Park the scope problem
      #3397466 - 10/19/09 05:22 AM

Hi everybody

I have a little problem with a Meade LX200R 14”

It is mounted on a pier, with an ultra wedge.

I use Skytool 3 pro and MaxPoint to control it. When I make a polar alignment and Full calibration with MaxPoint, then it works very well.

Then I park the scope.

Power it up after a couple of days.

Unpark the scope, and read the position data in MaxPoint.

Now the scope sends data, with 180 degrees error to MaxPoint. I use MaxIm DL, to slave my dome to the scope, and the dome now points 180 degrees the wrong way.

Why does the scope send error position data to MaxPoint ???
