While you're here, how about checking out the
Astronomy Book
List ? |
Hi
I recently got our school telescope back from repair. When I switched it on for the first time the other day, I noticed that the directions seem reversed.
Using the keypad, I checked the "Reverse E/W" & "Reverse N/S" & was fine.
After sitching the scope off & back on again, it seems that these settings have not been remebered, as the directions are reverseed again.
This is a real problem, as the 'scope will shortly be operating remotely on a roof, and I don't want to be going up there everytime we start a observing session!
Apart from modding our software (*which may not be too difficult), is there any way to get the keypad to remember the rversed settings?
And more to the point, why are they reversed at all? Did the repairer forget to eo something when he put the new mainboard in, I wonder?>
Cheers,
Dez Futak
