Certainly not for my 8SE. (a SCT on a single arm Alt Az mount)
Are you talking about using a wedge to make it act like a EQ mount?
Lilli,
If using the standard Alt Az mount, set up is much easier. There are several methods. Make sure to Read the manual.
Basic Auto Align worked fine for me 95% of the time.
Hope this helps

Thats what I get prompted, But realisation strikes me that I have a relic version of the scope Nextar 8, not 8SE. so we have two different alignment procedures. I stand corrected and will edit my previous post. Just for information sharings sake the nextar 8 used level and north plus lat, long, date and time to get a rough idea of where to slew to for the alignment stars. That is it knew where it was pointing and where it was and when it was so it used that information to guess where the alignment star should be (eg turn left 15 degrees, 35 degrees altitude from where it currently is).
