You may need to update the motor controller firmware.

In similar vein, the Nexstar 8i's HC is also incompatible with this earliest of models. The Nexstar 8's HC is not upgradeable or replaceable with any later version.

If it wants you to enter E or W in addition to the numeric longitude, then don't use - (minus) for west longitudes (if it's even allowed). 'W' and minus are just two ways to indicate the same thing. Similarly for N and S. Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
