Thanks for your reply I find all this very confusing as I only started in April/May. I press 5 on mount and it starts in EQ mode, only tracks in az. I have tried with handset not connected and with it connected. I would have thought all being Skywatcher they would all work together and have more info from Skywatcher. The user guide I have for mount says mount on wedge type tripod and start mount using 5 so surely it should work. Why oh why can’t Skywatcher be more helpful?? cheers Maurice

Forgive me if my posts are all over the place I am new to this App.

Hi my button 5 option works fine on my V5 handset

I am using Skywatcher Heritage 114 Virtuoso with Nikon D5100 with standard lens or 200mm telephoto or no lens with camera fitted to scope with adapter and 2x Barlow.

Hi I can’t boot up mount in equatorial mode with SynScan handset connected, It will boot up in EQ mode when pressing button 5 and powering up but when I connect handset and set I up it starts tracking in both axces. Am I missing something? I presume when it’s on my home made wedge it needs to only track in EQ mode. I want to get into deep sky photography. Is there an easy way to polar align this setup without polar scope? I also use Stellarium on a Notebook Many thanks in advance Maurice

Hi Has anyone got a Skywatcher Herritage 114 Virtuoso with SynScan handset? I have one but it does not seem to do what it says on the tin! I have several questions if anyone has the same setup and knows how it all functions. Any help and info would be much appreciated as I am new to this hobby.

Hi forgive me as I am very new to this hobby. I have a Skywatcher Virtuoso mount with SynScan handset. I have made a wedge out of 10mm acrylic sheet. My question is with mount in equatorial mode (press button 5 and power up) and mounted on the wedge, will the handset still have the goto function? as I want to try deep sky photography. If it doesn’t it will be difficult to locate objects. I also use Stellarium which I guess will not be able to point scope at a selected objects. I don’t know if I am trying to run before I can walk. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
