  1. Loaded fine 30 mins ago then timed out with the "We are having trouble loading this page"
  2. Varible results for me with firefox, some pages load quickly some fail after a couple of minutes.
  3. With my OAG I had to fiddle with how far it was in the light path to get a good round star. Try sorting it out in daylight with a distant object - also a pencil is a good friend mark the drawtube whrn the main scope i in focus then mark it again when the OAG is in focus and that is the size of spacer needed. BTW OAG stars do not have to be spot on in focus, with one scope i had seagulls as my guide stars and it still worked fine , not saying it was ideal but it orked.
  4. I thnk its the same one as the guy in Nigeria that has 1M to give away
  5. Back to ST4 guiding and reduced the RMS by at least a third even in this wind.

    Ditched the USB hub and used a new USB cable and the "hatching"has gone from the image.

    Happy days .

    Now if only the cloud would do the decent thing.
