Hi Cookie8,

Yes, there shouldnt be any reason why it wouldnt work, however, I am a bit confused when you say a 20X4 finderscope which is polar axis. Your GSO motorised equatorial mount is what is needed to line up to the SCP. Set your Altitude to your Latitude as in the article and line it all up using the instructions. The finderscope should be attached to the scope along the same line as the main scope so this will help with finding the stars shown in the diagrams.

Once the Altitude is set correctly, future sessions will only involve rotation in the clockwise direction if you are using the same position as previous nights.

See how you go.

Chris
