so to flea bay i went thinking a cheap one at 10 quid would do the job,not!what a hassle it turnede out to be i riiged every thing up and thouht all would work well all plug and play the laptop top is about 2 years old from new and is dual core 4 gb ram graphics sound card full monty.

plugged her in and it flashed once and that was it i could not work it out run the wizard drivers ok checked the port fine?

then i tried and tried 20 million downloads latter nothing it was now tea time and my good lady came in and asked me to come for tea (she is not a fam of the scopes at all) and i had tea called my IT mate round and he had a play were upon he said there a problem made that funny whooo noise and said this and that he splitt 10 minutes later.

i thouight it was a virus because the day before i let my daughter go on a game called habbo house one she plays on face book which killed the laptop ,blue screen of death 55 minutes later done updated and thought thats that rulled out i then came up stairs to the spare room were the ofice type room is and plugged just the cable in to the old tower was in to the com port,and not the usb to serail cabble screwed the nuts up and brought starry nights six pro up (by the way thats a lot of money and go for the free version the pro version aint much better) i kliked on the on a random star hit go and ran out the room with my fingers in my ears ,i grabbed a cuppa came back up and it was pointing the other way i tried stellarium and kliked on m101 and held ctrl and the number 1 and of she went tried meades auto guide fine .
