Things to check:

1) Are you in Mode RGB?

2) Open Channels and see if you have an extra channel like a star selection or other.

3) Do you have a selection in place, possibly hidden? Ctrl D to deselect.

Hi I am in RGB mode not sure what I mean by extra channel or selection in place hidden 

Hope someone can help me,I have been using the action set however for some reason when I use one of the actions it starts of ok but then stops and say's fade not available or hue /saturation not available or any one of the other actions it needs to do. If I want star spikes no problem.Hope someone has a answer cos it's driving me nuts 🤔🤔

Simple answer get it as good as you can, I use pole Master and it gets me very good alignment.

Hi welcome need help or advice you will find it here at SGL.😃

I agree the handset is more tactile. However I found I soon got the feel of the app.also if you have your mount alignment good the need to slew the mount to center a object is not required very often,I am speaking in my case now. But as already been said it's what feels best for you.Hope I've been of help😃

Synscan app for me also

Are you leaving your setup to do its thing ,or do you keep a eye on it. I had the same problem and I just gave up in the end.Now I wait for scope to get near meridian, send scope to home then go back to target,yes it means I have to stop imaging but only for a couple of mins it works every time.😃

Yes I to am one of those older person who makes early morning calls of nature,but I have begun to not mind it as it gets me out on my roof here in Spain when the skies are ablaze with stars.By the way my 🚽 is not on my roof.😃

Well it's been 4 days now with clouds and rain here, Northumberland coast... the weather forecast was supposed to be 19deg and blue skies, yeah whatever!

How can the forecasting be so wrong...then again they do cover their backs with the words "changeable" and "hit and miss" 

From this day on I'm never looking at the weather forecast again, better off opening the window and sticking my finger outside!

Sorry for the rant 🥴

Yes best way to forecast the weather, what you see is what you get💨💦🌞

Wot I said.

If the vendor doesn't know the difference then caveat emptor.....

Caveat emptor🤔

Ok thanks John I thought it too good to be true 🌠😭👍

Hi anyone got any idea, is it a meteorite or slag

Hi I use a large barbeque cover , leave  my HEQ 5 out all year round under it never had any problem.

Hi when you enter your date make sure you use the USA way ie month first then day.I made this mistake first time I set up🤔

HEQ 5 is a good mount at a reasonable price
