Celestron 6 SLT

[mikey1]

Hi all, so just got myself a celestron nexstar 6 SLT. easy to put together, but the hand held goto, says "start boot" when I turn it on ??? 

I cannot seem to track down the cable that is required to update it !

Is it always this hard to set up a new scope? I am sure it will be worth it, eventually, I hope.

Your first recourse should be to complain to the seller. You bought a scope, not a software course.

If nothing happens other than 'start boot', that's a fault.

Refreshing the firmware may fix it, but this is quite a rigmarole. You need guidance from nexstarsite.com, plus the right cable, which may depend on whether you have the latest handset or not.

But I assume this Nexstar 6 SLT is one of the latest models, suggesting that it is new, so the fault is the retailers problem, not yours. 

If the outfit is working properly, it should be easy to set up.

I agree with Geoff. Just to have some knowledge of the potential problem and the necessary 'tools' your supplier should offer, it's probably worth reading through this and the relevant links
