Thanks, Singlin.  I think I did have a cable snag because sometimes the model runs fine without any errors.  Have to figure out a way to secure them better.

Man, tried doing a PointXP run and each cal star it would slew to I would get a alt/dec encoder error and tracking would stop. Hit start again to get tracking but after each slew the error would trip again. Encoders are set to polite. Going to try a few things Lucas told me to do and Dan at Sitech.

Will do.

Thanks, Singlin. I'll try this.

Hello,

I get a below horizon limits message in the Sitech window no matter where my scope is pointed. This prevents the scope from being able to initialize and start tracking and I have disabled using the horizon file under mount parameters. Tried blind tracking and no change.  I can't figure out why I'm getting this error. I used Steve Richard's guide for setup. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Use a Geoptik saddle but take the knobs off and replace with Allen bolts

I just ordered the same plate and would like to know what size allen bolts you use and how long they are. Thank you.

Congrats on your mount! What saddle plate are you using? I'm going to a single scope setup until my refractor issues get resolved. All the ones I have locally are too close to the mount to allow you to tighten knobs.

Thanks.
