shouldnt you be lining it up on SOUTH???? If the instructions are Meade, (USA) that's Northern hemisphere stuff. You should align on the South celestial pole. Then for 2 alignment stars you have the beaut Southern cross near by and Kigel Centaurus etc., etc.http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/....es/happy04.gif

In AltAz, the Meades are always pointed Nth as the alignment routines are based on where AZ=0 is, and that doesnt change based on Hemisphere.
Using Rigel Kent or Acrux as the first star is always usefull at this time of year as they are unmistakeable.
