After purchasing our new Skywatcher ED 80 and HEQ5 mount this process has successfully attracted the first potential cyclone to the sunshine coast. In anticipation of fine weather a question on alignment.
When focusing on a star on the eastern horizon and adjusting the altitude to stop drifting, then swinging to above and adjusting only azimuth to stop drift then back to the eastern horizon and repeating the process for altitude.
My question is do you repeat this process adjusting only the altitude for the star on the horizon and only adjusting the azimuth for the star overhead until you have no movement or can you adjust both when viewing one object or will this be catastrophic. Thanks Mark.
