Hi,
I have just obtained a secondhand HEQ5 PRO mount and OTA.
I have read the manuals a few times and have made some progress.
The mount seems to track the moon or Jupiter fine, when set up as well as I could with a rough polar alignment.
Using a compass phone app and a level. And yes I know about true South vs magnetic South.
My question is.
when attaching the telescope to the mount, which way should the scope point.
should I just follow the images in the manual.?..
For example should the knobs for the scope clamp be up or down, and should the scope look towards the East or West?
I am in Australia which is South of the Equator.
Thank you in anticipation.
