HEQ5 how to turn on polarscope illumination

[David010167]

Hi all, just spent a while getting the mount setup and the scope coming to temperture, ready for tonights clear skys.

As a newbie: how do I turn on the illumination for the polarscope?

When I used the scope lasst week, i thought it was odd that I could not see the polarscope reticlue. But tonight in bright sunlight I can clearly see an led in front of the polarscope when looking from the top, and a torch confirms it.

Alas I am at a lose on how to turn it on.

Any thoughts. Is it possible it is not connected, do I need to do something with the synscan contoller?

I have done a search I cannot see the answer I am looking for.

Help

regards

On the new mounts, if you're running Synscan V3.25 or above, then it's under the utilities menu/ LED tuning.

If its not got the latest firmware its on all the time - you may not be able to see it in daylight as the later ones only glow very faintly in the dark.
