Good morning. I have a Celestron CG-5 mount an had a similar problem awhile
back. Here are my recommendations:1. Disconnect all power and let sit for a
minute or two.2. Verify all cables are plugged into the correct receptacles.3.
Power up the scope and see if the problem still exists. If it does, proceed
with #4.
4. Your unit may need to be reprogrammed. This can be done using the Celestron
Firmware Manager. The software can be downloaded from Celestron at:

The process is not too difficult, but the steps need to be followed
carefully.Hope this helps.Bill

Good Morning All,
Early this summer I bought a new Celestron CPC-800. This evening when I
powered it up I got the message "Boot Loader Serial Invalid Pkg. :0002 and the
hand paddle is inoperative.
  Any ideas? Len Liszewski

Brian, et al;
As you said, this is a great time of year for spotting the zodiacal light, I
have pointed it out several times to other observers from the Antennas site.Â
I also like the fact that that it is in Aries and Pisces, so there are few
bright stars and it stands out better than in the Spring, when it is in Leo and
Virgo.
Glad to hear that you are studying NGC 457, a favorite of mine and AJ's.Â
Every time I observe in Cassiopeia, I spend some time viewing it.
Have fun;Steve Coe

This is a somewhat annual reminder that the gegenschein
is now in a good spot in the sky to go out and look for it.
  Here are some recent images of it taken in
late-evening from the Lowell Anderson Mesa site:

...and an image from a couple weeks ago of the
morning zodiacal light:

These were all cloud-free nights, so all the
structure you see in the sky background is from
the night-airglow (i.e. actually in the foreground).
The airglow has been active enough that one of our
DCT telescope operators thought they were cirrus clouds.
SQM meter readings were ~0.3 mag brighter than values
typical when the airglow is quiescent.
  The annotations in the images show bright stars
but also mark the locations of the telescopes active
at the time the image was taken. Thus on the Oct 22 image,
I was using our 1.8-m Perkins telescope to get polarimetry
of Be stars NGC 457, while our robotic 31-inch telescope
was hitting one of a long list of T Tauri stars between
the Pleiades and Hyades.
