Hi Everyone,

Is there a trick to polar alignment? I have recently purchased a HEQ5 Pro mount and a Skywatcher ED80 scope and am having a **** of a time trying to align it. I have gone through all the steps leading up to Star Alignment with the synscan hand control but my alignment fails every time. Am i just doing it wrong? is there a trick to it? or is it just something that takes time and practice? Is there another was other then having to find the Astrism in Octans????? 4 little stars I dont like very much.

Thanks for any help guys.

David
