Thanks Philip and everyone
No I haven't tried the training yet and yes it does have that option, almost got a LX90 but a little big in my current situation.
Yes I was pretty sure it had to be pointed north initially (I used Magnetic using a compass maybe True would be better) different for Equatorial Mounts
Oh well early days still very new to all this only had a cheap Tasco when I was a kid
Really appreciate the replies and assistance,
Cliff

I am assuming that you have not 'trained' the scope. This can make a big difference to pointing accuracy, and should be done every so often, I am assuming that it can be done on yours!
Do you have a manual? Link below if not. Looks like appendix A (page 44) for training.
