yup, that was me last night
adventures in goto.
I set up my tripod first getting it as close to facig the SCP as i could, leveled it, and placed the head on it... all well before sunset. as it started to get dark i put the scope on the mount... darkness set
now turning teh mount on the controller asked me if i want to align (or something similar) and after entering time, date, location, etc and then re entering the date cause the darn americans want it MM/DD/YYYY i was set to do my next step. here it gives me a choice of 1, 2, or 3 star alignment. it took for ever to work this out cause i realised that i dont actually know many star names LOL, and the fact i was being lazy and trying to do a 1 star alignment....
handy hint: do not do a one star alignment!
so after fiddling around with a one star alignment and trying to figure out why the scope wouldnt go where i wanted i decided on a 2 star alignment
this was much better....
finally aligned, cheryl started to make noises (come in type noises) and so armed with cartes du ciel i picked out some objects to find the acuracy was pretty darn good
big thumbs up to both H0ughy and Acropolite for supplying the controller and cables
thanks guys
