Identifying stars for alignment
in Getting Started General Help and Advice
Posted
Good post and I will be following your progress. I have exactly the same issues at times and find the alignment process difficult, I could not master the finder scope either as its magnification makes finding the correct star difficult. I changed to a Telrad finder which helped me a lot. I tend to go for a bright star near a constellation so I can orient myself when the scope slews to the rough position.
