Hi guys, I've got a problem. My scope is giving me bad (wrong) warp values when I do a two star alignment. With a 10mm guide eyepiece using Polaris and Betelgeuse I'm getting a warp of +30. Capella and Rigel produce a warp of 6.
Adding spice to the mix, the scope will not goto the initial guide star. I can't give the numbers, but it
seems to be off by 180 deg in both alt and az. When I try to return to Polaris it points due south and about -32 deg below the horizon (I'm in Dallas). It's reproducible.
Is my computer shot? This started after replacing the batteries. Slew, finder, and center motors are moving
in the correct directions. I also noticed that the cord wrap doesn't work anymore. Is there a way to "reboot" the computer?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Keep it dark, or at least keep it quiet.
