Graham, Dick may be on to something in his post. The problem still occurs when you are in the mouse control window? I have been testing with the LX200GPS...
Brent , i will give the idea a go. I tried this different machine because it runs solidly with the irq's taken up. One of the cards has the ability to share...

Hi Brent: I'll check on all suggested items. The computer and scope time is set right on. How do I make sure I get the most accurate tle file? I down loaded...
