Hello Gary
Yes I had exactly the same conclusion as yours : if the red aux light turned on => I was in autolock, so local synch had been activated => the 2 yellow LED on Handpad and on main unit SHOULD have been on. But they were not.
I don't know what happened
I will recheck next time at observatory, as I was tired at end of observation.?
I brought the handpad at home (far away from observatory),and today I turned it on, pushed the guide slow button to make sure I was on guide speed, then pushed the local synch button. The yellow LED didn't turned on neither.
But maybe this is normal as the handpad was not connected to the servocat main unit ?
Am I correct ? could anyone test this on its own handpad to check if the yellow local synch LED turned on -or not- when NOT connected to main unit ?
Regards
