Polar alignment and go to function.
I did do a hand controller upgrade to V3.12 which game me more stars to align from and put in the correct GPS positions for where I was before doing the below
Just a short note from my own views about 2 star alignments with the EQ6.
Firstly thanks guys for posting the work around on finding the SCP star. I used Dennis’s protractor method. And without your posts I would have probably smashed the kit in frustration. J
Secondly one thing I found on the EQ6 forum when doing a 2 star alignment put in a low power 22mm and center it, then drop in a 9mm and center that. I followed this method and then placed the 35mm panoptic in and sent the scope M7 and it was bang on. Even dropping down to 22mm and the 9mm it was still centered.
The chap on the EQ6 forum wrote that even if the star is a fraction out when doing the 2 star alignment it will knock off the go to. I found this to be very important last night when setting up hence dropping down to a 9mm to further center it.
Some folk may disagree with the above but this is my own views from trying myself.
After winning the fight with the mount I was able to view more objects in 15mins than I had in 6 months.
Many thanks
Ian
