This mount has been working flawlessly for over two years.  A few nights ago I targeted M51 and when I hit enter I got this message.  I am using a StarSense.  The GOTO works well on everything else except this area in the North East.IMG_2496 (1)x.jpg   Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you so much.  I knew there were "mystic" things about this mount but I never saw them!  I don't know what I did to cause this but I will try this tonight.  Once again, Astrobin is my savior!

Just wanted to thank you again for the guidance.  Turns out that Celestron did not include the Filter section in the CGX manual but it is in the AVX manual.  Never would have known this without your help.  This is one reason I have been a member of Astrobin for years.  It offers so much more than just a place to post images!  This is one I just finished a few days ago that was a real surprise coming from a 10" f/4 Newt.  I'm really proud of this one and thought I'd share NGC3242, Ghost of Jupitor.
