Well Firstly, sorry to any peoples in Melbourne who wanted to observe tonight, but we got our AN today. So the bad weather's our fault
The setup seamed very straight forward and I didn't have any issues at all.
The quality and forward thinking involved in the product is outstanding. Even to the point that 2 different size bolts where included for the azimuth pulley to replace the original tension bolt.
I think I've set the sense directions up correctly and checked it by making a guess where acrux was in the middle of the day and alpha centuri (again guessing where it was from the planisphere) I was hoping to recheck tonight with real stars but no luck with the weather.
I also hooked the AN up to the computer and got it talking to Cartes du Ciel and pointing to where it was looking on the screen, very cool.
Also loaded a couple of user catalog's Herchel 400 and Caldwell into the AN.
So here's to a future life of easy object finding. Thank's to Gary and the Wildcard team for an excellent product.
PS no I don't work for AN I'm just really impressed.
