Set your altitude using the t bolts to your local latitude position
Fit your scope ,counter weights and accessories etc
Balance your mount as per the manual
Connect your Synscan hand controller and set up as per the Synscan manual
Set your home position on the mount
Carry out a 2 Star alignment and / or drift alignment ( you will need an illuminated reticle eye piece )
I use the above procedure for both visual astronomy and basic DSLR Astrophotography as I get reasonably close to polar alignment
I hope the above helps !!
