Dave EK DSC what stars give best alignment?
I've made Dave's DSCs coupled to an ASUS eee notebook and use Cartes du Ciel as my skychart software.
System works really well and I'm very happy with it but was wondering how to improve the pointing accuracy? I'd like to ask other users of Ek DSCs what your favourite alignment stars for this time of year are and how far apart and what orientation (north/south, east/west) should they be if they don't happen to be visible from my location owing to trees and buildings getting in the way? I've had good success with Altair and Antares so far.
I'm in Brunswick, a Melb suburb.
