Hi All,
I've just picked up a new HEQ5 PRO (skyscan v3.12) to carry two small refractors (ED80, 102 short tube), one for guiding and one for imaging.

I was wondering how close should the first slew to the
initial alignment star be assuming that you have entered the correct
lat / long, time etc? Admittedly I didn't do a drift alignment (just
pointed to the SCP using a compass taking magnetic variation into
account, protractor and level to set the correct DEC), but the first
star seemed to be about 20 degrees off. The second wasn't much better,
but I did get a successful two star alignment and goto's seem ok.

How close should I expect the first alignment star with a good drift
alignment and assuming all settings are correct? I've had a search
through the group, but could not find anything specific. Any advice
would be greatly appreciated from HEQ5 PRO or EQ6 PRO owners!

Regards,
Stephen
