I haven't been able to first light it yet, blanket clouds last night. I think it recommends setting it up in the horizontal position to start with. I'll have to read the instructions again, but yeh, then a 2 star alignment and off I go.
I like the fact that I can store up to 60 objects in a "user list", so I can plan an observing session in advance.. enter all the objects I want to view and then just scroll through them.
I need a cable for hooking it up to my laptop too, so I can use it with some planetarium software.
Here's some pics of it all finished. Might need to tidy up the wires in the base, but so far they don't get in the way of tilting the scope.
