Eric, Steve had emailed me some more extensive control instructions after I asked for help. These even include a 'reset' function if things get hairy - very useful. I can forward them onto you. Just send me a PM.

My polar alignment is nothing more than levelling the tripod & using a compass. Usually good enough with some tweaks of the slow motion knobs. Sometimes I hit upon a great alignment this way & the image doesn't shift for hours. Nothing as dedicated as you, JJJ!

John, ever shon your tourch into the diagonal or focuser of your scope? Bit light saberesque... a bit
