LX90 Declination Stopped Working
I don’t know what’s up. I was using my Meade LX90 (12 inch) tonight to check out Jupiter. I realized I would have to move off of th deck and get to the open common yard behind the house.
I moved the scope and attempted to align it to Vega.
It moved to the right, but never raised itself to find Vega. I tried multiple times. Finally, I tried just plain moving the scope with the Autostar arrow keys. I can do right-ascension, but I can’t get the scope to go up or down.
I am severely bummed.
