Nexstar Evolution mount firmware updated and will not now align 🤬

[Andrew stuart]

Help needed before I throw it in the bin! I updated the firmware on my 2018 Nexstar Evolution mount as there was a Wi-fi update as one of the 11 updates for the mc and hc. All updated perfectly with cfm. So now I have spent the last three nights trying to align using all the various methods etc and every time I get failed. This includes using hc and Sky portal. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem and has anyone tried to roll back the firmware. Note I don’t have starsense or GPS module.

Hi Andrew,

You might try downloading the previous version to your PC then selecting the "work offline" option on the Celestron Firmware Manager. That might allow you to roll back. I found that it still connected to the internet with that option set, so I ended up disconnecting my PC from the network before I ran CFG. That worked fine. It also helps if you just want to change the firmware for one device, otherwise it insists on downloading and doing them all.

Good luck.

All sorted. Changed to usb cable and re up loaded firmware. Just been out and two star alignment spot on 😁
