Yup ... what a bone head I am ... I had the LNT module unplugged before I stored the scope and forgot to put it back on. I just rte-attached it on and the...
... Ha!--- it helps to have the LNT plugged in! Anyway-- another thing can also do this--- in the hand controller the TELESCOPE selection is set to ETX instead...
... Since i retro-fitted an LNT to my ETX90, i can verify that a 1999-era ETX90EC (with current firmware) with an added LNT module works quite happily:...
