NexStar+ controller saves 20 year old scope!

Phew! Our club has an old (circa 2003) GPS Celestron 8-in SCT, but its controller had limited functionality. The new one reads the mount's GPS properly, and precision GoTo function guarantees a near center hit.

Improvement Over the Old One

Bought a used 8SE and the controller seemed to require a lot of double button presses. The buttons are more responsive on the new controller. Also like that the buttons are shaped so you can find common used buttons by feel. The firmware update stopped and I was scared to unplug it and retry. Was ready to call Celestron, but after re-following the instructions it updated successfully. May have been my error in the first place.

NexStar Hand Controller

All Star Telescope was great to deal with. They easily identified my issue and shipped a new controller with UPS. After two weeks and a tale of woe (UPS issue) but still no controller All Star shipped another new controller with Purolator. It arrived the next day to Peachland. Problem solved. Three weeks in the UPS package still has not arrived. All Star and Purolator 10s UPS zero.
