Force a Meridian Flip??

There is no button to do a meridian flip. You can delay the meridian both in the eastern and western direction by using the Meridian Delay. This menu is accessed by pressing the bottom right hand button. If the star is witin 1 hour of the meridian in the eastern direction (scope on the west side), then you simply set the meridian delay 1 hour east. Then enter the star and press GoTo. The mount will then send the scope to the east side of the mount to pick up the star on the "wrong" side.

C9.25 OTA OFFERED FOR SALVAGE

Posted By Roland Christen

Celestron can probably fix this for 1/3 the cost of a new one. They fixed my C8 for $150 some yeasr ago when the corrector plate shattered during a severe cold snap.

Venus -3 days

Posted By Roland Christen

Nice. I just took a look at it myself with my refractor. The sun was behind a cloud and Venus was brilliant in the blue sky. Very thin crescent, boiling to beat the band unfortunately.
