It worked!!!!
Ok, took out the scope last Friday night, despite having mosquitoes all around me, to give the scope one more shot. Well, I went through Auto align and like normal the scope was way off when it pointed to the alignment stars. I adjusted the scope and centered the stars. After getting both it said, "Alignment Sucessful." I thought, "Yeah Right!" I go to the tour and the first object is the Moon. I don't even bother putting a filter on the eyepiece because I know it won't land anywhere near the moon. Well, it slings and finally beeps. I take a look through the EP and am suddenly blinded!! It landed smack dab in the middle of the moon! I couldn't believe it! I figured it was just dumb luck so I decided to go to Saturn. It slings and beeps, I take a look and it has Saturn nearly dead center in the FOV! I can't believe it! I then go to Vega with the same results. At this point I'm getting devoured by bugs so I quickly pack everything up and leave. I don't get it. I haven't done anything to the scope since my last failed attempt and I haven't even done any drive training! I don't know what happened but I'm loving the scope now!
