How To Reset Home and Positional Sense of Telescope Mount

[admin]

I had a big issue today with my mount. It went wonky...not sure if it had a bump but would keep going round and round in circles.

So how to set this right, what i did (This is for an HEQ5 PRO Skywatcher mount - but should be fairly similar to other GOTO mounts):

1. Turn On Power
2. Clear PAE data just in case
3. Turn OFF Power
4. Manually set position of Home position to as close as you can
5. Turn On Power
6. Use Keypad to minutely move the telescope at RATE 1 to 9 to your wanted Home position
7. Set the telescope Home position in Utilities to use CURRENT position
8. Turn Off Power
9. Turn on Power
10. Use Current Home Position (click on 1 for YES)
11. Objects > select several check movement
12. Utilities > Home Position
13. If the scope goes back to its home position then you are set
