Thanks Alistair.

how did you manage to get it horizontal?

With blinding stupidity I think.
It has a altitude adjustment screw on one side only & a slightly curved plate on the 3rd side to stop it slipping too far which was stuck firm. When I loosened the plate it to allow it to go a bit further the central screw slipped & down she went thanks to the counterweights.

not sure what you're using

Instructions and an illuminated-reticle eyepiece.
The mount doesn't have a dec motor (or a guide port or anything) so I haven't bothered to invest in an auto-guider. I do plan to upgrade to a more modern mount down the track but currently I'm just learning what I can do with what I already have so I have a better idea of what would suit me best when the time comes to upgrade.
Cheers,
Pete
