eq1 on my mak 90 setting circles.
been playing with my new scope, now then i have polar aligned it, used Capella has first reference star, dialed it in on ra and dec circles but.... when i try go to say Jupiter the dec is miles out!? it seems to be about 5 degrees out!!! the longitude scale is 60 degrees and i am at 53 degrees north, the scope is deffo on Polaris. Cheap mount or what? don't get much viewing time in!! i am trying to find other stuff with setting circles. Rosette nebular, last 2 nights!! still have not found it between Procyon and Betelgeuse 15 degrees diagonal apart!! tracked all way along nothing. scopes good for detail, but has small aperture feild of veiw. bring out the dob!!!
