Thanks for all replies.
Jenny, yes I have a jump starter, and the Bintel DC lead arrived today (it has the fuse in it). So, now power isn't an issue. Batteries have been removed, so I don't forget later.
Thanks for the links, Rob. I had a brief look, and I'll try to study it more when I can clear my head a little.
Mozzie, part of that post lost me! I can do the alignment, and I set the bore sight before nightfall, on one of the cooling towers from the power station. But after syncing a bright star, things turn Dutch for me. Perhaps I need to RTFM a bit more...
Also, what is the SAO for the scp? I wasn't aware that it had one.
Having re-read it, most of it makes sense. Just the points above are catching me out.
Thanks so far to all.
