Word of advice to numptys like me with an SLT telescope.

After a couple of very frustrating nights wondering what was wrong with the GOTO and alignment controls on my 102SLT, I had a 'eureka moment' this morning.

American date format is different to the British one!

No wonder the goto had no idea what was what, as last night it was repeatedly told it was the 1st of July!

I can't be the only person that has made that silly error!

[Sam]

That's a good gotcha! I bet it's not the first time that mistake has been made - and one well worth remembering.

[beamish]

I can't be the only person that has made that silly error!

No, but you can be sure you'll never do it again!

[davekermito]

I'll put money on I will!

But at least I'll know what's wrong!

[Tinkerbell]

I can't be the only person that has made that silly error!

No, but you can be sure you'll never do it again!

Karlo

Oh! I wouldn't be so sure

Done it quite a few times myself

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

I can't be the only person that has made that silly error!

But you got the idea in the end.

No, but you can be sure you'll never do it again! :idea1:

Karlo

Wanna bet? I've done it several times myself. :downtown: :rolleyes: :idea1: :occasion5: :occasion6: :thumbup:

You surprise me Kev and Kapt'n :shock:, perhaps it's because I made such a complete ar*e of myself that it is etched indelibly on my memory
