It is so frustrating aligning up the 3 bright stars especially on a cloudy night. It took me all my time to get the first alignment and then the batteries let me down.
Tpyeah, the mount chews up batteries. Go to Jaycar or Dick Smiths and see if you can find a 240AC to 12DC power supply. From memory, it's 3.5mm jack, tip positive.
