EQ alignment
I've assembled my new scope on a skywatcher eq3 mount as per instructions, the tripod has a dowel on it that prevents the mount from rotating 360 degrees in azimuth, but will allow fine adjustment with the azimuth adjusting screws (the dowel on the tripod is between the adjusting screws on the bottom of the mount)I'm pretty sure I've put it together correctly. This has thrown me a bit because other EQ mounts I've seen don't seem have this arrangement because they can turn through 360deg in azimuth, I'm thinking it has to be right because I cant see any other way it can go.
Does anyone else have the same mount? if so, have I got it together right?
Also is there a simple and straight forward you tube vid or some other resource available on how to set up an EQ mount in the southern hemisphere, or is there an app that maybe of some assistance in finding CSP?
And yes, it is overcast and daytime.
