Don't hold your breath! Enjoy it when it arrives though! I think everyone on here is waiting for a break in the clouds though Ade.

Nice to see you finally got them. You will be amazed I promise!

I am an lucky enough to enjoy both aviation and astronomy. I have a very understanding wife ?

I'll be there. Sounds like a great workshop.

Just wanted to say great options for the talks. Can't wait to get there now. Looking forward to a great weekend of meeting new people, learning new things and observing the skies.

Not sure but I think only the handset.

I have an etx 125 and don't get any slewing on start up. The handset just beeps after a couple of seconds and then goes into alignment mode. If Michaels suggestions don't work, Are you going to SGL star party? If so you can try my handset and see if it works with your scope? Alternatively you could try and update the handset software here https://www.meade.com/support/auto.html you will need a serial connector to connect the handset to a pc, you might have one already with the scope, if not, I can send you a picture of one and you can buy it. Hope that helps. Steve

My first time at SGL too Ade. Hopefully see you there.

Thanks John, It'd be great to meet up. Drop me an email on xxxxxxxxxx if you want to touch base to arrange something nearer the time.

I have booked. This will be the first star party I've attended. Looking forward to meeting people and to seeing some stars! Not to fussy about where my pitch is but if there are other newbies, I'll go where they are.
