Hi All,

I'm a complete beginner to this and purchased myself a brand new HEQ5 pro mount. I am having trouble understanding how to calibrate the polar scope as I watched a video of a guy in the northern hemisphere who was talking about putting in the date/time for where Polaris should be at that date and time ring things (or something along those lines) and the going ahead and calibrating it by using the mini Allen key.

Do I need to worry about that here (date/time)? Or do I just make the adjustments so that it is dead centre on the target when i rotate the mount?

Thanks!
