thanks guys..
hi guys..
thanks for the advice lots of good tips there, especially the pads to stop the tube loosing its balance point as that does happen.
I was using only the dials..but worked out the quick release once I had a play in the daytime.
yes starhopping is probably a good idea.
Though i much prefer the dob..its large, packaged away, reasonably expensive so even though it would maximise viewing time..if I only have an hour before bed its much less practical to get it out and going when I can leave the eq mount set up and just start viewing straight away.
Thanks again everyone for your help i have tried it again and it wasn't as bad as the first time...
Lastly eq 2, EQ3, EQ4 how do you know what type of EQ mount you have?
Cheers all
Steve
PS M54 I got my dob second hand off this website and at a very reasonable price..after June the 30th the stockmarket will probably turn south again and at the end of july you might get yourself a telescope bargain...people will be selling off stuff to get through the hard times...
