I use an app for the iPhone called polar align3 which gives date accurate time and location in both formats ie degrees and also decimal. The beauty is that it also shows the position of Polaris in the finder scope which can be inverted if needed.

If you download the PDF in the enclosed attachment and print them it lists all of the alignment stars and their positions and which constellation they are in. I have found this invaluable when looking for the appropriate alignment stars

I also use on of the canvas bags you get the cheap folding chairs in for my tripod legs. Saves getting the knocked.

ordered a WO66 sct back in January and it "stuck after only 1/4 of a turn" and the replacement that was sent out also STUCK.

Replacement finally arrived today-It works

Strange-the thread tolerance must be slightly different.

Thanks all at FLO
