tutorial on sw goto dob setup

[ad602000 (Pete)]

somewhere on this site there is a tutorial written to guide people through setting up an SW goto dob. I remember it was well written and easy to follow but I have forgotten the name of it and where to find it. The part that really sticks in my mind was that it recommended that the home position should point to the NCP.
Can someone please help me to find it.

Pete,
Which SW you have in mind? OnStep? Or Bartels?

Here ya go
This is my procedure I wrote a while back for folk on the forum ( and my daughter’s father in law who bought an 8” Goto dob last year )
I’ve had my SW 12” Goto dob for 5 years now and still works beautifully
Hope this is what your looking for
Cheers
Martin
