Luckily it’s all sorted now. Turns out (not in the manual) that if you press 1-9 on the keypad at any point, not a particular menu, that changes the speed. It was on speed 1 which means almost impossible to the eye movement.

Yes however was marked as opened but never used. Handset still has sticker protecting the screen.
-
It allows you to change rate but it has options called star speed and moon speed. You can go to custom but it says “star speed +0100”
-
It does slew left and right when it is moving to a target but you can not move it left and right with the controller yourself in bless manually with hands if unlocked but it says that will mess with alignment. you see my problem!
-
So you can move manually left and right and up and down but not if using the goto. The arrows only work when aligning, and again only up and down very very finely to centre the star, other than that you have to select an object for it to find.
-
The left and right arrows seem to be to scroll through menus and when entering date and location. Batteries seem fine as when it is automatically slewing it has no problem.

I’m using AA’s for now but will get a plug. The main problem is that once it has found the star it says to centre it in the field of view, but it only allows you to go up or down whereas for me the star, in this case Vega, is to the left of the scope out of field of view.
-
You slot a compass into the eyepiece slot and the compass has a bubble so you know when it is level.
-
I don’t believe it has polar alignment. You simply have the tube level facing north, enter your location and select one, two or three star alignment.

I’ve purchased a National Geographic/Bresser 90mm go-to telescope after reading a good review for it from Sky at Night and I’m having a little trouble with the alignment. It goes to the right area of the sky but the star is always slightly to the left and the controller only allows you to fine tune by going up and down, not sure to side and it says not to move the telescope in any other way without confusing it. Any suggestions?
