How to enter longitude Nexstar 6SE?

[Jojo204]

Hi all,

im having trouble entering my longitude in the Nexstar system. My longitude is 

 -2° 38' 56.26" W

and I can’t enter the -2 into the system resulting in not the best alignment because I just leave it at the lowest, 0°. I’m sure I’m missing something pretty simple here

Thanks!

I don't know the answer but I know of a good website for the SE series. You should find the answer there, good luck.

If it anything like the Synscan handset then the coordinates should be entered as 002 38 56 W

I don't think it accepts the position in that format. So far as I remember '-' equates to W and + equates to E.  And you don't need the fractions of a second which probably equate to about 1 foot linear distance.
