Question? I'm new to this and have been devouring info. Just picked up the Clelstron Nexstar 4SE with SkyAlign. There are several methods to obtain proper alignment. For general viewing purposes, I understand that the computerized Alt-Az control should maintain objests in the field of view for extended periods of time. Am I correct that utilizing the built in EQ wedge and proper polar alignment, would be even better at maintaining objects in the filed of view, and also eliminate object rotation in the field of view? Is this why it is the preffered method fro photography? This wedge appears to be rather simple and I imagine getting a accurate lattitude is difficult. Anyone have any experience with this alignemnt procedure using this scope and its stock mount? Thanks, learning as fast as I can and hoping for some clear nights that aren't below freezing.
