EQ6 Synscan V3.12 firmware released

[George]

Wooo more things to play with

1). More options available for alignment star selection—Auto select or manual select, and alignment stars sorted by magnitude or alphabet. See “Alignment Stars” under submenu “SETUP”.

2).“Clear PAE data” added under “Utility”.

3). Three parking positions available:

HOME—+90 degrees (Northern Hemisphere) or -90 degrees (Southern Hemisphere) in DEC.

Current Position—Park the scope at currently position.

Custom Position—Slew and park the scope to the previously saved parking position.

To save a parking position, choose one of the above parking positions under Utility-Park Scope, then turn off the power. (ESC to cancel and escape from the Utility menu.)

If there is a parking position stored in the system, SynScan will prompt "Start from park position?" at power up.

4). IMPORTANT!! Re-enter the Time Zone data on your hand control after installing the V3.12 firmware.

Cool!

Quick finder for the alignment stars, rather than scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll and I would be able to park the 'scope horizontal and just shut he roof up, rather than turning the mount by hand. No more near collisions!

Shame about the price though.

Its a subsidised price as well apparently CC. I won't be upgrading until my handset breaks.
