I am hoping to try it out this weekend,
Shift work gets in the way a bit.
I can see octans from where i am if i look hard enough.
I haven't got a laptop to use yet, maybe a tad latter on i will get one.
I now use SkySafari 6 plus, helps a lot with locating things to start with.

I have been playing around during the day with Solar noon to get things spot on as close as i can that way, basically got the area marked out to when the tripod is setup it should be facing true South.

So if all goes well this weekend and all of next week, i should be able to get out and put everything into practice.

I use Synscanlnit 2.1 to put the data in to start with, works a treat.

Lots of great advice here.
