I've been using my 10" gps for years with relatively little problems.
The last 2 times I've been using the scope this is what happens. I use
ACP, Maxim d/l, focusmax and the sky to control my observatory from my
house. The last time I used my scope I was trying to calibrate the
scope so I could use the centering feature in Maxim. When I start the
process the scope moves half way across the sky versus the marginal
movement in order to calibrate. Needless to say it will not calibrate.
Additionally whenever I use the motion controls for the telescope it
moves only in one direct regardless what direction or how much I
select. The autostar hand control works fine and my goto's work fine.
If I select a star to align on using the software the movement to the
star works properly. It only shows up when I calibrate/center or use
motion controls. I have the latest version of all software plus I am
using 4.2g on the autostar. I've reset to factory defaults thinking I
entered something wrong. Any insight into what might possibly going on
would be helpful. Even if I don't use the acp hub and select the lx200gps selection in the sky I get a similar issue...it moves in one direction no matter what direction I select or how far to move. Any help is appreciated. So like the title is it hardware or software.
Thanks,
Jim
