Darkman Motor

Last night's winds have moved my dish, it was pointing at thor and now looks about 5/6 e with no signal, trying to move it but nothing is happening...any ideas as to how to sort would be much appreciated (posted this in the wrong section before, apologies)


Thanks

Wonder if your mount has moved, or the motor has jumped a tooth on the gear. Is there a reset hole on the underside?

Will have a look this afternoon, excuse my stupidity but when it resets itself, what position does it go back to?

should go back to 00 middle of arc

right, as it is dark i could not reset but i pressed the east/west bottons and the dish did not move, would i be right in guessing that a reset would do nothing?

Hi, if the wind has moved the dish, it would be likly you will need to reset the whole mount to zero so it gets back into the arc. I hope that helps.
