I wonder if the polar scope is out of focus? I haven't investigated yet if focus can be adjusted. Hmmmm. I'll certainly do the daytime alignment of the polar scope, but i doubt pointing upward at 38 degrees Im going to find any distant reference object so a close one will have to do  Thanks for the Tip Darryl and thanks Terry also for the verbose replies. |
Your welcome
I have found that even with a full moon I can still see some stars through the polar scope with hte light off so you should be able to see something. Try in daylight.
