Hi, thanks for the information.
When you get chance would you be able to send me a link regarding the auto jump starter and the eyepieces please.
Are you happy with your scope, can you see plenty with it?
Thanks
Peter

I had a roll of black audio carpet. Cut a length (so that it makes the scope look twice as long) and then wrapped around to get the width. I then taped down the long side to give me a long black tube that just slides over the end of the scope. You need to use a material that can resists getting wet on the inside from dew. Others on SGL have used a bit of camping mat. Also try searching 'diy dewshield' or similar on SGL.

No. I have never updated the software.
Alignment depends on session. I use Solar System if I am mainly looking at the moon or a planet, one star if I am looking in a single area or two star for a general session but make sure there is at least 90 degs between the two stars. A very good feature to look up on in the manual and practise is REALIGN. This allows you to re-align the scope as the session goes on alignment can 'slip out'.
I get Home coordinates from Google Earth.
