Thanks Paul.

I have set up a 100ED with a GstarEX as well as the finder. Cloud last night stopped further progress.

Yes another four leads trailing but this is only temporary. I am getting to old and lazy to chase an eyepiece around on a goto mount.

The sky finally cleared early this morning and I spent some time accurately aligning the finder with the 100ED. This means I will be sure that the star in the field of the 100ED is the correct one when it comes to adjusting altitude and azimuth of the mount.

Dawn arrived before I could start to do a 'rough' polar alignment.

This gives me another day to try and ingest the information in the manual.
