Hi all,
Could someone please help, I have an issue re setting my EQ5 mount, the mount is a synscan goto mount, I use this mount with a skywatcher evostar 80ED, scope, all had been well, polar aligned, star aligned, RA and DEC set, I am not currently guiding, I set my target on the synscan controller for an object, as it was driving towards the object, the scope become closer to the tripod, I believe this called a meridian flip, so I stopped the process before it collided with the tripod, I was unable to drive it back to the home position as it would have hit the leg on the tripod, so I pressed escape on the controller, I returned it back to the home position manually, now when I search an object via the controller, it says the object is below the horizon, when it's not, I have checked objects on my normal app on the phone, the objects are visible, but the controller says they are not, some objects it says are visible, when I select the target it points in a completely different direction, I have set the RA and DEC with dials on the tripod and a spirit level, save the home position, it is still the same, could someone please offer help, I am really confused.
Thank you in advance for any help or advice.
