Thanks Richard,

That Lightbridge circle will do just fine. I'll get it printed and laminated tomorrow.

It really makes finding faint stuff easy (if you have a ALt/Az co-ord for what you want to see).
I use the free web site Tonights sky for a selection of Alt Az co-ords for selected items based on your input.
I use a Bunnings inclinometer for the Alt.
If you want to bring your dob to a dark site, check out the "Star Parties" forum and the thread for Mangrove Mountain Pony Club this weekend.

Directions in the sticky section.

Hope to see you.
Allan

PS: Thanks Again Richard

Thanks Allan, I also have a Celestron 130 Astromaster with motor drive on the CG-3 eq mount, and have been using SkyX First Light application to find my way around. I have already bought an inclinometre for the GSO from ebay, which has a magnetic base to attach to the tube.


Cheers
