Happy New Year to all!! ;D
Does anyone have a Meade GoTo mount that I could pick their brains about. I'm not convinced that mine is working as it should. Has anyone heard any more about Mia?? Clear skies, windless nights

Glad to hear that Mia is keeping ok. Here goes Mark and anyone else that can shed some light. The mount has a lower and upper half. When using goto, the nut under the ripod is locked tight. Going by the instructions I shouldn't be able to move the telescope except with the hand controller. However I can move the scope...the top half rotates while the bottom half remains still. I'm afraid of damaging the internal gears/drives. Veronicas telescope can't be moved at all when the locking nut is tightened... it seems to perform exactly as per the user manual Any ideas folks?!?!?!?
