Down loading the latest firmware as you have done fixes the problem and you should have no more trouble with the hand controller.

Try reloading the firmware again, but in the upper LH corner of ther CFM display is the heading "Hand Control". Click on this and you will get a drop down menu. Click on "Mount Types" and then choose the proper mount. Reprogram the HC again and this should fix the problem. Stan Post Extras:       cruzr944 member Reged: 07/28/12 Re: CelestronNexstar 8se.
