Greetings,

Just wondering if there is a TAK user in Perth who can teach me how to polar align the P2Z mount using the polar finder and then drift alignment.

I found this guide, but I'm sure there are a few tips an experienced user can share.

I'm also keen to work out how to use the setting circles.

Daniel.

Yes, infact it was the tipping point! I copied him right down to the colour of the pelican cases!

The thing is, the southern hemisphere polar star is small and I've never seen it before.
