I just received my new Hyperstar 3 for a C11 today, and before I get going just want to ask some advice.
(They seem to have forgotten to ship the counterweight - I'm trying to establish if I need it - so not fitting this before the manufacturer replies to my mail. Their PDF manual online also doesn't download)
How do you go about setting up for an imaging session, regarding star/polar alignment and balancing.
My thoughts were to balance the setup with the Hyperstar. But align with normal eyepiece, get precise polar alignment - then park the mount. (so the setup is unbalanced when aligning)
Then place Hyperstar and camera (quite heavy!) on front - and start imaging session?
Any advice welcome!
thanks
