G'day
Level and point the mount and scope south. Set the mount to the correct lattitude for your site. Make sure the two mounting bolts that hold the dovetail are on the right hand side as you look towards the front of the scope and that the RA is vertical and the scope is lined up with the mount as you look down. If you can see the pole use the polar scope otherwise use a compass to get reasonably close (not essential for visual observing but does help with tracking and pointing over a period of time). Make sure you get the date right, it goes
month, day, year and make sure you enter the correct coordinates for your site. Use google earth to find these or a good map. Do a three star align. The first star will be out but the other two should be in the FOV of a 25mm eyepiece. Your pointing accuracy should now be good with most targets falling in the FOV.
Good luck
