My daughter and I have been trying for month’s time get the 3 star alignment to work. Right now we are on Fripp Island, SC near Beaufort, SC.
We followed all of the directions and got the alignment matched. When we told the telescope to point to Jupiter, it went to the opposite side of the sky.
Things we did(not necessarily in this order)
1. Time Zone: -4
2. Long: -80 28’ 26” Lat: 32 19’ 05”
we also tried the city database and used Beaufort.
3. NW of equator
4. Time and date
I just can’t figure out what we are doing wrong. This is the second or third time we have gotten the successful match and it always goes to the wrong part of the sky. Usually, we get a match failed message.
Please help!!!
