It's interesting. When I was at the recent RTMC, I spoke to Meade about how poor the documentaion and system requirements were for the setting up their GOTO scopes. They all agreed.
I suggested a short set-up video or web clip, or some better way to explain. I was told they get a LOT of questions everyday on set up problems due to documentation - they seem to know the problem, but lack a SIMPLE solution, or willing to take the time to maybe make a short, simple demo videotape on ste-up - maybe someone in the local clubs could or would be interested. I remember years ago, Roger Tuthill made several videotapes on use of the C-8 scopes. They had a little bit of amateur element to them, but they were full of good explanations and pointers. I still have them and they were reasonable price and very useful. Hint! Hint! Celestron and Meade!!! Anyone have good insider connections???
OR, the next best thing would be a GOTO scope workshop given periodically by one of the local clubs. What do others think???
Thanks,
Jim Stitley

I'd love for the presidents of Celestron and Meade to
read that statement! Brent, are you following this?
Ha!
