Great stuff. So I had the right idea,just 20 degrees out. never knew about this declination stuff. So, aim mag. south then according to silv's link turn left 21 degrees. then up 40 degrees, and I should be looking at the vicinity of the scp. So now I can see what the scale on the mount means .Latitude. I've just got the mount plugged in to my 12 volt jump start pack (never thought I'd be using it for this) and it all seems to work ok ,cool. By the way silv, you gave me an idea for mounting the camera . I'll make an aluminum bracket to fit in the dovetail on the mount for the camera. And, I can also use it to mount my barndoor tracker. The possibilities.Love my new hobby. Cheers all.
