My mount is moving in the wrong direction when I use the direction arrows at slower slew rates. What is wrong? How can I change the direction of the buttons?

You will need to review and adjust the button direction logic in your hand control menu.

The directions are user-adjustable, so you can match the direction the star moves in the eyepiece with the buttons when using different accessories–some of which may reverse or mirror-image the real direction of motion of the scope.

For Alt-Az Mounts

To change directions:

1. Go to Scope Setup > Direction Buttons.

2. Scroll up or down to choose either azimuth (left-right) or altitude (up-down).

3. Press Enter to select and scroll to choose Normal or Reverse.

4. Press Enter again to change the present direction of motion associated with that button set to your selection.

Note: This works only with rates 1-6 and will not affect slew rates 7-9.


For GE Mounts

To change directions:

1. Go to Scope Setup > Direction Buttons.

2. Scroll up or down to choose either RA Buttons (left-right) or Dec Buttons (up-down)

3. Press Enter to select. Scroll to choose Positive or Negative

4. Press Enter again to change the present direction of motion associated with that button set to your selection.
