Gaza - you have a scope finder and an RDF! Luxury! We just have cardboard box on motorway!
Thanks all for the tips. My main problem is I have nothing in view during the day from my house that would be far enough away to centre on, so unless I take the scope for a trip somewhere else, i may have to try using the Moon.
Alex, thanks for the tip about tightening up the mount base, so I only have to try to stop it from traversing. I will attempt again and report back.
We are heading out to Parkes for a weekend soon and staying on an isolated farm - hope to get that starry sky!
