    Hello

    I am trying to download the latest firmware for my az gti on my windows laptop, however I can’t open the MCF file to do this. 

    Does anyone have any suggestions please?

    Thank you

    You don't "open" the firmware, it needs to be uploader to the mcb using the firmware uploader. Download the motor controller firmware uploader and use that to update the firmware.

    I was wondering can I just grab ANY decent RJ45 to RS232 modem cable to operate and guide the mount from the laptop?

    Probably not, the EQDir cable is more than a RJ45 to RS232 cable.

    From the EQ-Mod website:

    "In order to connect a PC/Laptop directly to the EQ mount a PROPRIETATRY interface device is required. This device is referred to as an EQDIRCT and is designed solely for use with Skywatcher mount. Standard "off the shelf" Connection must be made through such a device NEVER CONNECT DIRECLY YOUR PC DIRECTLY TO THE MOUNT. Please take utmost caution if using "off the shelf" serial/RS232 cables, the  connectors on the mount, despite being familiar types are not standard RS232 or ethernet connections."

    Hi, just wondering how I can access the Classified Ads section please?

    I believe I've met the prerequisites but can't seem to find it on the forum menus.

     

    The requirements are a minimum of 30 days and more than 30 25 posts. You should gain access sometime today.

    Not at 7 p.m. in the UK. I have 7:31 for my location in the middle of the UK, today. I think we need the OP's location, first.

    The OP is in Tunisia, there was an ISS pass at around 18:55 local time.

    Hello, today at 7pm i went outside and i saw a bright thing moving in the sky and at i first i thought it was a plane but when i zoomed in it looked like a bright round object like a star or something does anyone know what it is?

    If the object was moving West to East you probably saw the International Space Station.
