Good to know. Kind of makes you wonder about GoTo mounts that can't be initialized using the sun, yet offer the solar tracking rate. On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 3:41 PM, Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:
Chuck, one thing to look out for is the computer alignment. The newer Celestron's include the "Sun" as a valid solar system alignment target for daytime use. I can't speak for the newer Meade stuff, but on the three year old ETX that I picked up, the "Sun" is not a valid daytime solar system alignment target. I also consider the GT114 mount about as low as you can go in the Celestron catalogue. Hope that helps. - Kurt
