I have had much trouble with my Nexstar4GT goto. I have not ever had it work. The advice I have recieved says that it should be pointing North, does that mean North is the position to point the scope in before begining the alignment? It has to be true North as opposed to magnetic north as well doesn't it? What is the easiest way to determine this?
