Hi guys , i've just joined up & wondering if anyone can give me some insight
about the VP set up.
Actually i am more of an amateur photographer than an astronomy guy
however the last few months i have been interested in astrophotos mostly
milky way shots.
My equipment is ( Canon 70D) , (Celestron Mak 90 cheapy) , (Tamron 70-300mm),(Canon 17-85mm),(Sigma 24mm 1.4),(Sigma 10-20mm 4-5.6)
(Samyang 14mm 2.8) , (Samyang 8mm 3.5 fisheye) lenses.
As you've guessed i like my wide angle lenses & i just recently purchased
most of the above for AP.
The first Q i need to ask is about accurate aligning of the VP to the SCP without having to get that expensive Vixen polar scope which i think is a bit of a rip off.I have the optional Polarie polar meter which i find to be precisely accurate so i have read some threads and apparently i need to
be aligned to true South rather than Magnetic South in which in my case
here at Cobram would be 11 degrees east ??? is this true.
Also i have on order an (digital box gauge angle protractor level inclinometer with light) to help with more precise longitudinal aligning.
Hopefully i have all the gear i need........only i need a little more insight from people with more knowledge than i have.............cheers Kev
