  1. OK, so I'm about a year late responding, but my SCT to 2" Baader ClickLock got stuck last night -- the Baader 2" to 1.25" ClickLock Reducer is what was stuck in it. I took almcl's advice, and used the plastic handle of a medium size screwdriver. I struck the release knob once or twice with the handle and voila, it opened. I did have to unscrew it from my SCT, and use rubber work gloves to get a good grip to hold onto it. I hope this will be the exception, and not the rule. I really don't want to fuss around having to remove my PowerMates and cameras - kind of defeats the purpose. Thanks to everyone for the help
  2. Hello everyone, Hopefully the following is helpful. It took me many, many searches to find this, but here it is. I haven't tried it yet with my 4+ year old Star Adventurer, so I cannot make a claim that it's the "correct" software. The Motor Controller Firmware Loader (version 1.64) for the original Star Adventurer can be downloaded from https://www.opticalvision.de/service/downloads/ This site seems to have lots of useful SW software. Just keep scrolling down until you see "STAR ADVENTURER MOTOR CONTROLLER FIRMWARE LOADER V1.64" - look for this: I downloaded the file, unzipped it, scanned it - no viruses, spyware, or any other threats were found. Good luck! UPDATE --- April 20, 2020 --- AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THESE ARE THE LATEST APPLICATION & FIRMWARE VERSIONS, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD --- I downloaded the "latest" MC Firmware version 3.6.07 from SkyWatcher's site, ran the Motor Controller Firmware Loader version 1.64, and was able to successfully install the firmware update to my Star Adventurer. Went very smoothly, and without a hitch!
