Well on the weekend i managed to polar align my scope for the first time

But it took me neally 4 hours to get it right (yep im a persistant little bugger it wasnt going to beat me)

Anyway after neally four hours of continuously watching the star dift to the South even when i turned the scope totally the other way

Ron says to me Jen have you connected it up to the RA
I was like yeah i can hear it clicking etc..... then i locked at where the screw needs to be tightend and sure enough Jen didnt tighten it at all DOH!!!!!!!!!!!! and a few words did come out of my mouth

Anyway once i tightened up the screw BAM!!! i had it polar aligned in 5 minutes yeehhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa
Jen takes note next time to tighten up that little bugger (i wont do that again)
