hello everyone
I'm Brent from SE Qld i have been keen on Astronomy for a few years, now having purchased a telescope just a couple of months back there is not a clear night I don't spend in my backyard. I managed to purchase my scope at a clearance sale, I got a Celestron C8NGT Newtonian on a CG-5 german equitorial mount. I'm just now getting the hang of polar alignment however one problem i have is the mount won't allow me to adjust to 27 degrees the latitude for my area (28 is the lowest it goes) i have started adjusting the front leg of the tripod a bit lower to compinsate the 1 degree. One of many of the little things i have learnt and have to learn about the wonderful world of Astronomy. I'm sure from this site, as i see many others have i will learn alot more.
Cheers
