HEQ5 Question - About 'Parking'
Hello all
I have a (hypothetical) question about aligning my scope/mount and then parking it.
If I complete a one star alignment (or a two or three star alignment I suppose) and then park the scope will the mount remember the original alignment if I choose to perform another alignment soon afterwards?
Or, does the scope forget the alignment and start again?
Due to back problems I am thinking of doing a quick alignment on a star that I can easily sight on (closer to the horizon) for an alignment, first by a red dot finder then my illuminated 20mm. Once I had the scope aligned I would park it and then do a two star alignment on stars that I am familiar with.
I am hoping the scope will remember the first alignment so I only need to use the eyepiece for the second alignment and not have to bend down to use the red dot finder as the scope should (hopefully) slew close(ish) to my second alignment stars.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
