Cheers David. Don't know whether there is something fundamentally wrong with the scope (I did purchase it s/hand after all) or I've just had a duff batch of circuit boards/motors fitted (it DOES happen).
Sincerely hope that it is fixed. As I'm powering the scope with a 12V PowerTank, I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong!
Joe, I'll keep you posted.
I'm still waiting for the Sun to develop some spots. I have a solar filter for the ETX but not for my 6SE. Then I'll do some AP (or should that be SP for Solar Photography?) on it. Last time I photographed the Sun, it looked like a ping-pong ball!

If I like it, the wife says that we can't afford it!
=======================================================
Meade ETX105 (a nice "Grab & Go" scope) & Celestron NexStar 6SE with Bob's Knobs.
Various EP's from 6mm to 26mm, Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom, a 2x Barlow, 2" diagonal and 7Ah PowerTank.
MRF and Antares 8x50 RACI finder scope - both for the 6SE's OTA, whilst the ETX gets a plain RDF.
Canon EOS 400D DSLR (un-modded) and SPC900 webcam. Finally climbing the AP Learning Curve!
