Trouble with Celestron Nextstar Evolution 9.25

Post by Knoppw »

I have been unable to accurately align with Nextstar controller, StarSense controller or with sky safari. Reprogrammed firmware. I’m exasperated. Anyone that can help??? I love the scope but ready to go to non-computerized scope. Thank you. Bill Knopp. A frustrated amateur astronomer. Williamknopp8109@gmail.com

Hi Bill, This is frustrating. Perhaps we can get together sometime soon. I see you've tried two different controllers / systems. So the issue could be with the mount, motors, encoders, slippage, or it could be something in the technique - which I've been guilty of in the past. Maybe the easiest way is to get together to give it a shot. I'll e-mail.
