Hi all, I have the Celestron SLT130 with Starsense Align which I'm having great difficulty setting up correctly. I have been battling away on nights so I can to get it 'autonomous' if you will, though viewing great objects has been really great with manual input viewing the typical objects, such as the Moon, Jupiter and it's moons and Saturn and it's rings. I would like to be able to use the Starsense Align facility though to align and view some further objects, this is proving a little more tricky. I've made good progress , however, my latest issue is that once the scope is aligned, then second alignment is complete, when I slew to a named target, it is not in the eye piece. I'm wondering if it is because there is alot of backlash in the azm movement. I have done a backlash compensation today but yet to try it out tonight, however, my concern is that when I slew manually at a motor rate of 5 or 6, the backlash is 'more or less' gone, however, when at a faster rate, it is quite severe and I can't get rid of it. When the Starsense Align is aligning, it uses motor speed 9.
Does anyone have any wise words here? I'm guessing the backlash can be an issue when auto aligning?
Kind regards,
Neil.
