Tearing whats left of my hair out....
The Mrs had decided for her birthday she would like a telescope so she could look at the planets.
So after a lot of searching I picked up a Skywatcher SW500S.
Last night for the first time we had pretty good clear skies, although there is quite a bit of light pollution at our home location.
So I moved it outside into the backyard a used the finder scope to line up on what I am pretty sure was Jupiter (to the left and down a bit from Orion)
Put in a 25mm eyepiece, then uncovered the main scope.
NOTHING!
I can only assume that the finder scope and the telescope aren't aligned.
So what do I use to align it?
Cheers
Kev
