Can you manually set GPS coordinates on a Nextstar 6se ?

Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Just out of curiosity, is the firmware the latest version? You can connect it to the internet to update to the latest version + new objects. At least from the SE series onwards.

I'll have to check whether lastest firmware is installed or not...

The probem is tht you need to flash your handset usng the serial, I think, and I don't have a laptop with a serial port.... I guss I'll have to hunting for a USB-Serial adapter cable...

...Which isn't a bad thing, because then you can control the scope from you computer, as well as my Canon exposure control software... ;-)

Thanks,
