Am new to EQ mounts having previously owned an LX200. Having completed polar alignment, I think, and checked main scope and finder scope are centred on Polaris, I then go for the 3-star alignment having entered Lon, Lat and Altitude. Arcturus is the first star it tries to slew to, but the scope ends up pointing just above the horizon, and about 45’ to the west, way off. I therefore manually slewed it to Arcturus and entered it, then selected Merek and Vega for the next two stars and it found them almost perfectly. However, after the 3rd star, Vega, it then says 3-Star alignment failed. I’m obviously doing something wrong. Can anyone please help a beginner to EQ goto mounts. PS I did do the Alt-Az manual adjustments as part of the polar alignment.
Regards
Perry
