I'm not even sure where to start with this. Thinking this might be the right forum but I don't know. I have been friends with a gentleman on Facebook for about 2 years now. He became friends with me back when I was into paranormal investigations or "ghost hunts". Then I got into astronomy and he has been a huge fan of what I have been doing. He seems really into astronomy and in awe of the night sky. He is also partially disabled and has been diagnosed with MS. I would like nothing more than to share my views of the night sky with him but here lies my issue; I live in Wisconsin USA and he lives in Melksham UK. I was just wondering since SGL is based in the UK and a lot of the members are from the UK, would it be possible to set him up with one of you to give him some views through your scope? I think transportation would be the biggest issue as it sounds like he can't drive so someone might have to make the trip to him. He has been very supportive to me and I just wish I could give something back. If he lived in the states I would most certainly drive to wherever he is to let him view some of the best night targets. I don't even really know where to go with this. I suppose if someone is willing to meet with him they could message me and I could set it up from there. I appreciate everyone's time in reading this and would love if we can make this work.

Equations boggle my mind as well but I agree that you should get it as close to perfect PA as possible. Sunday night I tried best I could to get the error to 0 but at best was a few seconds off. But even though my alignment wasn't perfect (according to the hand control) I was still able to get 190 second subs unguided. Makes me wonder how long I could go if I had really nailed it. Eventually I am going to try drift alignment and see what results I can get with that. I would like to get a guider but for now I just don't have the funds so will have to make due.
