Hi Everyone -
I have a dear friend that recently moved from the United States to Sao Paulo, Brasil. We here in the States have the Orion Atlas (synta) mount which is from my understanding identical to the EQ6 which is more popular to most of the market on this forums.
The situation is we use Polaris and different alignment stars than those of you south of the Equator. He will need to somehow get a southern hemisphere kit that is not available here in the United States.
Im thinking perhaps he may not need to get a new hand controller if he inputs his new southern hemisphere location, but a different polarrscope, and new alignment star is certainly a must.
By the way, what is the southern hemisphere polar alignment star???
This is so strange to ask these questions but obviously we are opposite each other in the night sky...
"Thanks for your help with my friends problem."
