Hi Malcolm,
I unexpectedly managed to get a couple of hours this evening moving the telescope and locating the Moon, Jupiter, Vega, Capella succesfully and syncing them (i hope). before the clouds took over again.
However my next problem to overcome is that my software Backyard EOS kept crashing, and in the end I resulted in using the rear camera display to view and position the stars. I have not had this problem before since ensuring my EOS utility was not running prior to starting the program.
Ah well another afternoon of scratching my head and running the telescope and camera uring the daytime to see if I can crack this one.
thank you again for your help . I have mine set up in an observatory and hopefully will be working towards remote operation eventually. but until then will be wearing plenty of layers LOL.
