Sod's Law

[ApolloMatt]

Typical, I just ordered an Orion EZ II for my Meade ETX to give this underused scope of mine a much needed finder. Get the scope out and the Autostar has died. New batteries, checked and cleaned connections etc.

It starts up glows red then the screen go's blank. The motors work but very erraticly.

Well at least I have a spare finder for my Maksutov:icon_eek:

I got bored of the goto mount anyway, I much prefer a manual eq mount.

I'll keep the ep's and retire the scope if I can't find the old standard non goto EC controller on here or Ebay.

Glad i just got the Maksutov or I'd be without a telescope.

Regards

Matt
