NexStar 11 GPS PEC Doesn't Work

Thanks John, I've had wonderful luck with Celestron in terms of support and
this is my third C-scope. It just seems like they've felt very little
pressure to fix the very few, but annoying things that were wrong since the
scope's inception. I will give Mr. Hedrick a call and see if it's in a
planned upgrade and ask him to email at least the NexStarGPS group.

Thanks again,
Chuck

Hi I forwarded this to this group in the hope of getting Celestron's
attention.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, Chuck, but you would probably do just as
well by shouting expletives at the latest Celestron ad in S&T.

But I come not to chide but rather to offer a potentially more direct
channel.

With all of the assorted ownership and personnel shifts at Celestron, I
cannot be certain he's still there, but try giving Rick Hedrick a call.
He is/was their VP of engineering and is/was most helpful when certain
shortcomings in the original NexStar line were brought to his
attention.

His email address is/was: rhedrick at celestron dot com, and his phone
extension is/was 223 . 1(800) 421-9649.

I have not had occasion to speak with him since '01 so the freshness
dating on this posting may have already expired. Nevertheless, I've
never seen any evidence that either Celestron or Meade are even aware
of s.a.a.

A Celestron rep. *did* subscribe to the nexstar 5 Yahoo group, but
again this was quite some time ago -- eons in Internet years.


Hold their feet to the GLP and good luck!
