help with "go to"
Hello,
I am in search of some help.
Bare with me while I share the equipment I am using. 8" Orion reflector on an EQ mount. I use the Orion G-3 color camera and until very recently I have used Orion Tru Track for tracking. I have gotten lucky a few times and have captured a few good pics. of deep space objects.
Now for my problem. I've upgraded to the go to system hoping to locate objects more quickly. I have NEVER understood how to get a perfect polar alignment and after 3 tries so far with the "go to" I am failing miserably. I'm not sure exactly what I am doing wrong. My latitude and longitude are correct. My altitude is 627 not sure if it should be + or - and the polar hh.mm escapes me.
......frustrated....
Thanks
