Peter,
General set up checklist -
Tripod facing true south ( front Tripod foot pointing true south and centre line of 2 rear tripod feet ) (I have a procedure)
Tripod level
Mount head fitted correctly ( not to sure about the AZ EQ 6 )
Mount head set to “home position” counterweight shaft pointing down front tripod leg ( I have a procedure )
Counter weights installed
Scope and accessories installed
Scope balanced ( I have a procedure)
Scope and mount set to home position before power up
Check adequate power supply 12V 5A ( I use 12V 7.5 A Powertech power adapter from Jaycar )
Ensure scope is secure on mount and check all fittings
Check all electrical connections
Power up
Ensure mount light is lit
Start Synscan 2 Star Alignment ( you already have my procedure)
Then Synscan Polar Alignment ( you already have my procedure)
Cheers
Martin
