pmx polar alignment
Just to clarify for my peace of mind, make sure the southern hemisphere option is chosen in Bisque TCS, then with mount and me facing South (or in what ever park position) so my left hand is on left side of mount and right hand is west.??
OK Im confused- I am fairly confident I got better PA when I adjusted following the turn the knob three tics etc, but I was facing south - me looking over the mount from the control panel side towards the SCP. Am I in error?
I have Southern Hemisphere set up on Bisque definetely.
ARrrgh!!!
The PA report states on it - For the Southern Hemisphere turn right knob 3.5 clicks etc"
Are you all saying face North (i.e with OTA in a normal SCP facing position (I know it doesn't apply as PMX starts from home in the NE) so if this was a normal EQ mount I would be facing North with the CW directly in front of me and the control panel on the other side?
so you would theoretically reach around the CW's to adjust azimuth etc. So even when you adjust for Southern hemisphere it assumes you are looking North and making adjustments with your right hand Eastwards and your left hand westwards?
Help!!!!!
