Chris P. Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hi folks I wonder if anyone can help with this one. I have a Skywatcher 127 mak on an Alt-Az motorised mount with a synscan controller. When I perform a 2-star alignment I get as far as the "Alignment Successful" confirmation message only to then receive a "CAUTION: Previous PNE settings applied" message. Once I clear this and start to find objects, the scope seems fine. For the life of me, I can't find any reference to this message on Google or in the Skywatcher manual. Anyone come across this one before? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Not sure, I sort of assume it could mean that previous Periodic Error calibration is being used perhaps? That being the case though I would expect it to say PE settings not PNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
