Help please. I am just beginning to use my AZ-GTi with a telescope as opposed to a camera and find that I need to change from the arm on the right to the arm on the left. I have read posts and comments about a firmware update but can't find simple instructions, all seem to presuppose a familiarity that I don't have. I saw some links to guides on CloudyNights but can't access them. The AZ-GTi Skywatcher tutorial recommends a USB dongle (available from Rother Valley etc) but still doesn't really go into basics. Chat GPT did give instructions as follows but with no reference to firmware update.
The Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi mount allows for both right-arm and left-arm configurations, which is helpful for different setups, like when you're using a Newtonian reflector or a Maksutov-Cassegrain. Here’s how to change it from a right-arm to a left-arm mounting:
Steps to Change from Right-Arm to Left-Arm Mounting:
Loosen the Altitude Locking Knob:
On the side of the mount, there’s an altitude (up-down) locking knob. Loosen this to allow the mount arm to move freely.
Rotate the Arm to the Left Position:
Once the altitude axis is loosened, carefully rotate the entire mount arm from the right (default position) to the left-hand side.
The arm can swing fully over the top of the mount, allowing you to place it on the opposite side.
Tighten the Altitude Locking Knob:
Once the arm is in the desired left-arm position, retighten the altitude locking knob to secure the mount arm in place.
Could anyone please guide me on this? Where do I start?
