Hi, I'm in Kirkam

Thanks for the replies, I've used the data from the Synscan app so am fairly certain what I'm inputting is correct. This morning I did a mock alignment using Stellarium to find the location of Caph and Capella and it seemed to point in the correct direction, then asked for Polaris and it looked again to be right. At night it's a different story!

Hi all , I've just joined, hoping to get advice and learn more. I have a Bresser 90s/500 sitting on a Skywatcher EQ3PRO, which I'm having a lot of problems with. I've had the mount about 10 years I think and never managed to get it anywhere near a goto. Last night I updated the handset firmware entered the info from the Synscan app and tried a 2 star alignment. First star Caph, it slewed round and pointed to the middle of the plough, tried Deneb, it went in the right direction, but pointed at the middle of my fence. No matter what I do it always seems to be 30 to 90 degrees out. Any suggestions while I've still got some hair?
