Finally Polar alignment success... but
After a bit of hit and miss I finally managed to get a southern polar alignment with no significant drift over 5 mins. YAY! I think I have a few more grey hairs, but the milburn wedge I'm using is rather fantastic.
However, I'm becoming frustrated with my LX200 pointing accuracy. At the moment, every object I point at is the same distance out of centre, which is far enough out that the "GOTO" search can't find it and the object is almost out of the field of view of the finder scope. This is occuring in both polar and Alt/Az setup and is the same amount in either setup.
I'm still coming to grips with the scope so was wondering if anyone has some tips for "correcting" the accuracy? Can I perform the training in polar mode and is this what is required?
Thanks in advance,
Ben.
