Is there a way to rotate the globe up or down? We can't comfortably see what's north and south. Is there a trick I'm missing?

I can't answer because I gave it to my grandson for Christmas. He lives in Oregon, I live in NJ. Sorry

Our globe pivots on the rack like affair that holds the globe so that you can view the north & south pole by pivoting the globe, as well as spinning the globe. Hope that helps.

I think the only way to accomplish this would be to mount it on the vesa mount 90 degrees. So make sure you want to keep it this way for a while, lol. You cannot simply just rotate it.

There is a small wheel to the right of the viewfinder. By turning it you will adjust the viewfinder to your eyesight. Easy!

When you pull the eye viewfinder, you have a small wheel on the left side. Just spin it until it looks crisp. Same method as binoculars.

If you look closely, you can see the sensor on the base. It is that small circle. You can easily cover it up to turn it on. Also, it doesn't need to be pitch dark for the globe to come on but it does need to be darker in order to see the lit images well.

Steven, link me to a 2D scrolling shooter, and I'll snap a picture of this monitor at 90 rotation. Right now just browsing the web I can see a slight haze on the screen. If I look at it at different angles the screen gets dark, but head on it looks nice just not as bright.

I dim the light on my screen. This makes viewing from side angles difficult.You might try that, I haven't had any problems.

There is ONE SINGLE BUTTON on the bottom of the globe. You simply just press it repeatedly to cycle through the colors. You press once, it turns on with 1st. color...press again, it turns off...press again, it turns back on to next color...press again, it turns back off. And so on and so on. After it cycles through all colors (that just glow solid/static), then the end of the cycle you get to 2 sequences...one where the colors just sort of merge and blend and crossfade together very slowly....and then the final sequence where all the colors merge and blend and crossfade together--but QUICKLY.

There is no way to calibrate the compass. I have had a Type S for over a year & have made repeated attempts, following the instructions to calibrate. To no avail. You'll have to live with it being about 15 degrees off.

Unfortunately, if you have aligned the scope (i.e. using one of the alignment routines in the hand controller), you lose that alignment when you move the scope manually. When I use my CPC 800 for terrestrial viewing (which is not very often compared to using it for astronomy), I bypass the alignment but I still use the hand controller to slew the scope. I just find that is easier.

The globe turns on the earth's axis and it can be rotated about another axis which has one pole at about 40 degrees latitude. This makes the globe useful, since you can tilt it to look more easily at the southern hemisphere while you spin it on its polar axis. The base is made of iron, since a magnet will cling to it.

No there were no directions. We ended up with trial & error. We blew up the picture and winged it. 6 months later we found out we had part upside down. It is still in use and will be in the trees next season.

No, both direction rotates freely about same. You need to push button to move the dial for settings.

My compass has the same problem. I guess we both got taken for a ride not knowing where north is

If you're right handed, put your left hand on the top center of the bezel , your right hand holding the bottom center of the bezel . Gently push the top backwards while gently pulling the bottom toward you. I think it tilts back only 15 degrees and forward only four degrees. It doesn't sound like very much, but it's actually quite sufficient

yes, you can,... mine is up/down left/right. but I will tell you,.. I Don't like my Foscam. It will not decide whether it is going to display everything in black and white or color on any given day. Whenever it is bad weather, it is usually color, but most days it is sunny it is stuck in black and white. I have tried everything to solve it to no avail, and the override setting for day and night does nothing for it.

sorry I can not measure the globe now. It is at our mountain cabin and I will not be at the cabin for about two weeks from now.
