Thanks Allan and Malcolm, i should have said looking at planets and other interesting objects instead of stars. I sure have a lot to learn. As soon as I figure out how to update the Synscan unit I'll have a crack at doing an alignment and try out the goto features. That should speed up the learning curve.
Another reason I got this gear was to try and get my 7 and 8 year olds off the nintendo and tv bandwagon and for them to take an interest in something that might benefit them more. If they don't show any interest that's ok but so far so good. They seem excited to look up into the heavens. If I can get some interesting objects in focus for them then all the better.
