Clive Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Usually a Windows open file error occurs when a file that has been opened for reading from or writing to is not closed properly before trying to open it again. Usually a PC reset or power down sorts its out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 Hi not really as just got it and trying to work around my first go to just wanted to get the latest firmware ...

+Glafnazur Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I've never updated either of my Celestron and skywatcher handsets. Maybe I should but they seem to work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
