Ok,
The telescope is a Celestron 8inch Newtonian CG-5 EQ mount
The problem? its everything ! LOL
I tried reading the manual, and i got stuck at polar alignment. Because of that I cant really go any further. The manual confused me even more.
I got a polar finder for CG-5 but i think i may be missing the mount for it, i will check tomorrow. Anyways, i figured i would ask for someone to come because it would save me hours of my tinkering.
Anyways i have a looked at a few stars tonight (moving the mount freely), there was one that was quite noticeably bright, and when i looked through the eyepiece, the star appeared to be a perfect circle. Could i be looking at Jupiter or some planet? or are all big stars perfectly circle looking through a telescope.
Another thing, the manual doesn't state the power requirements for the electronics, I know its 12v, but i don't know the amperage. Having a quick surf on the net there was one that said 1.5A so i plugged in a 12v DC 2.5A adapter in. It seems to work.
Sorry to trouble anyone on here, I may be slow to read manuals but i'm a quick learner if you show me. Honest..
