Being a rare clear day I took the morning off work to do a few odd jobs and managed to set the scope up for a quick peek at the sunspot. I could see it with my naked eye (with filter of course) but the scope revealed it in all its glory. Great! The I thought I'd look for Venus. I hit Venus on the goto and the scope swung the wrong way, to the west -uh? I checked all the settings, re-aligned and tried again - same problem. I checked the power, powered off and on again and checked latitude and all the other settings which seemed ok. Re-aligned on the sun. ok. Went to venus, same problem AGAIN.

After much head scratching I sussed it - I'd set the date to 8th Jan 2013!  Doh!
