Hey all,


I've had my first go at setting up and polar aligning a EQ6 pro.

I was surprised how well things seemed to go. However, the instructions in relation to polar scope alignment and preparing the mount seems, well, a little abstract!

I followed the instructions to the letter, I actually found the Octans asterism, cheated by using the 12 inch dob and a tad of illumination, got it in the polar scope, but for the life of me, I couldn't get the scope aligned on the stars. I figured I must have buggered up the original setup, do it again, same thing.

I've done a sleepy search during the night of the net, but found most of the specifics in relation to the northern hemisphere. If anyone knows a link to some local answers, I would appreciate it greatly
