Thanks! That makes sense. A problem I had last night was, after 2-star alignment, I slewed to Jupiter. It got kind of close (I was just testing and my alignment stars were close, scope not leveled). Regardless, I tried the motor controls to point the scope at Jupiter but the controls did nothing. The controls work fine after powering off then back on tho. Any suggestions?

Try changing the motor speed to a lower speed (like 3) and move the arrows. Then switch it back to a higher speed like 7-9 and see if that helps. I’ve had mine not respond before and changing the speed back and forth seemed to wake it back up.
