Well I recently received my gear and was reading up how to set up my (Saxon) HEQ5 Pro mount.
Thank you so much for this! Saved me some time wondering about the procedure/order of doing things. There was a few things I knew (aligning the "N" to True South, how to Home, how to balance, etc) but I was just unsure about the process. This has helped me a lot to have a bit more confidence.
I was thinking of giving polar alignment using the polar scope a go - but reading about having to ensure the polar scope is properly aligned first (which it may not be so involves some fiddling with those little screws to ensure it rotates properly), finding a star (or a point if done during the day) in the Southern Hemisphere, potentially fiddling around with the clocks (those silver dials which I'm assuming are also called clocks) around the polar scope as well, etc etc - I'm thinking I might give this a miss for now.
I do intend on trying it out at some point - though.
