Message from johnd...@gmail.com

I just bought a Celestron Nexstar 8" SE on facebook market place and I really need some help in getting the auto tracking set up. Can anyone help me please. I live in Fremont, and I am willing to come to you if that helps. I am taking the telescope back to Ireland on the 8th of April so I dont have much time. S.O.S. Regards Sean.


this came in via the 'subscription' request form....     I'm thinking if anyone wants to help Sean, they should let us know on the list, and contact him directly at  johnd...@gmail.com

I would recommend using Youtube to find the answer.
Perhaps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7i6t7pxufc ? I have never used this scope, and can only assume that auto tracking is “ON” after following these instruction.
There are many others to choose from..
I’ve also sent this link directly to his e-mail

I wrote Sean for next week if he can wait.

I had an 8SE and know most Celestron.
