Welcome Steve - enjoy the new kit - and ask away with the questions!.

Setting up and aligning your scope with the south celestial pole will be one of your first tasks. There is a great four part video series on this at Astronomyshed (another great forum)

Here are the links.

Part 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fO6hyYtPwM
Part 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcctN4xVXnI
Part 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGduG2jB9ec
Part 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDC-zct6lvY

I downloaded and copied these onto my phone and watched them each time as I was setting up my scope (ED120 & HEQ5-Pro) until it became second nature.

HTH
