Hi, had a break from astronomy due to work etc, but slowly getting back into it! Love to join in if you are planning any observation nights etc -
I'm just getting back into astronomy after a break so I've joined an Astro club (first meeting this Saturday) and want to get out more to dark sites.

Skywatcher star discovery mount
steve_bham replied to steve_bham's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Just a quick update FLO picked up the mount in the week and delivered a new mount today. unpacked it set it all up powered up and I get the error message " both axis no response!" Can't move the scope in any direction. To say I'm disappointed and annoyed is an understatement, anyone else had this ever message? -

There is a large section of foam under the OTA that could be cut out. That's where my vibration pads are stored. best thing they don't touch the tube so no risk of marking. -
