Hi all.
you will have to bare with me on this as i am a n00b to all this.
No1: I heard that if you find the true SOUTH point in the sky ( i did tonight with the help of STELLARIUM ).
this is not the point you set your mount to, you have to go another 11 deg from that point & set your scope to that ?.
No2: The first night i set it up, i did not have south aligned, it was just in the general direction. then i went through the 3
star alignment & all went well with that. ( i did have to adjust scope to all 3 objects ) So to me that means ( i am probly wrong )
to me that if you have your 3 star alignment done
, it should not matter if you are perfectly pointing at the south pole or not , ?. But,
i found when i was tracking a few objects, the tracking would deviate after abit of time, so now im thinking the south pole
( + the 11 degrees ) has to be spot on to have the tracking work correctly. anyway, i will leave the answers to you guys/gals as
i am totally nieve when it comes to this machine lol.
thank you very much.

PS: i have a HEQ5 pro.
