Hi Nigel, thanks for the info. I have just bought the 127 GOTO Had I known the difficulty in setting this thing up, I would not have gone this way, but i have so I'll have to knuckle down and join those little dots up in the night sky.

It doesn't say in the manual where to point the scope to when you set up for the first time, I spent hours trying to find what to point at in the manual so I started by pointing at Polaris. I soon found out that it doesen't matter but it does save some time if you can get it in the general direction.

I have one other point to make and that is something you touched on Nigel, I can only see from about 140 deg to about 300 deg. I am fortunate that I live in a small village and have very little light polution My house covers north east and I have close trees covering the rest, I live on a hill so the trees between the above co-ordinates are at the bottom of the hill giving me a reasonable viewing area. I guess the point I am trying to make is that the setup routines are extreemely difficult. Is there any way during ether one stare or two star methods that you can select the star(s) you lign up on?
