Sky-Watcher 200mm +HEQ5 manual mount

[BrianP]

Hi! To All,

I have a Sky-Watcher 200mm with a 2005 vintage HEQ motor drive equatorial mount (the old black one). I've got a couple of problems with Polar Alignment.

1) I undid the grub screw on the collar with the date zero on it-how do I re-align this? (OK, so I'm a numpty)

2) I tried to align the element in the Polarscope and it came off the screw mounts. (Like I said above: I'm a numpty) I have managed to get it back on the mounts and it is now in beautifully sharp focus. But should it be aligned somehow?

3) Can anyone direct me to the best online manual for this mount? I've seen about three and they all contradict one another!!!

Clear skies to all.

Bit odd SW do not appear to have a manual specific to it, from what I can see it is part of a "general" one of telescopes with the HEQ5 Mount.

Manual

Also available in French it would seem.
