Thanks Bill that was the article I read a while ago but never tried. However.....sorry for my naivety( is that the nice word for 'stupid repetitive question'?) that tute still indicates to me that you need the scope to be in the "park" mode position..... ie pointing to Octans. I cant see Octans from my backyard, so my question still remains : can I pick a star ( for instance tonight canopus is at the right height- for me- at about 20:30 WST on the meridian due-ish south) which means moving dec and ra?
I think I might have thought of the answer, but I'll eagerly await a contradiction to the " read what it says in the tute" response
Cause that would help......
