I started off trying to keep it relatively simple because I know most people haven't a clue about how pro telescopes work, but probably kept too much jargon in it. Sorry about that!<br /><br />Andrew - I've BTDT as well! I'll admit to a little poetic license in my post because if I'd really said the problem was fixed I know what hell I'd be letting myself in for!<br /><br />In my fault response and after detailing and describing the problem and what happened, this is how I ended my response:<br /><br />"Probably the kiss of death, but I think this is likely significant."<br /><br />(I was referring to the fact that replacing the controller, and then replacing it again with the original, seemed to have made a difference).<br /><br />As you can see, I even predicted (prophesied?) another instance of Murphy's Law! I was just stunned it happened so quickly...<br /><br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917420597770463210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-47921181710928312282009-12-12T07:54:03.379-10:002009-12-12T07:54:03.379-10:00All to true! BTDT!!
I have learned not to make an...All to true! BTDT!!<br /><br />I have learned not to make any pronouncements when faced with a problem like this. When I think it is fixed I might make some guarded comment like "try it now, it may be working, but let me know if you have trouble with it". I then let everyone else come to the conclusion that I fixed it when it does not break again. Much safer this way without a direct challenge to the great god Murphy.Andrew Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404795276468632488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-3587108465430175092009-12-12T05:12:15.109-10:002009-12-12T05:12:15.109-10:00I think I need to read this again.
