Hi all, i just got5 my new EQ6 replacement back with updated SS version 2.05a.

I have the ED 80 mounted and as keen as mustard to start learning how to use this beast.

My understanding so far is, 1] point azimuth adjustment toward true south 2] level mount 3] adjust altitude to get latitude 4] try and figure out the polar scope and align octans, my illuminated p/scope doesn't have a brightness adjuster 5] turn on power, enter co-ordinates/date/time etc.

Am i sort of in the ballpark, or am i way off and confused even more than i am?????

Does anyone have any good links explaining these procedures for the EQ6 in the Southern H.

I really want to have a go tonight at some astro shots, is this going to be possible first time out with the mount, and extremly limited knowledge??

I am not to fussed on quality of the images, i just want to be able to track even with error, to get some learning time under my belt.

Any help from fellow EQ6 users in the Southern H will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.....
