Hi there!
I have recently moved from a dobs mount to a AZEQ6 which, so far, I have only used in tracking mode with the scope aligned south.
My question is probably dumb and show my ignorance of the alignment process...
When I go through the synscan initialisation procedure (in equatorial mode) I go through the following set up steps:
- Coordinates
- Time zone
- Date, time, DLS
- Display polaris position
Given that in the southern hemisphere, GEM are aligned on the CSP, should I then use the position of the Octans instead through the polar finder in order to move to the star alignment process? (or disregard this step, although I haven't found a way to bypass it)
Thank you in advance for your help.
Eric
