It's a Skywatcher EQ2 mount

OK, thanks; I'll investigate that

Martin, this video is by far and away, the best explanation of polar alignment I have seen (and I've seen a few this last week!). I've posted the following as a comment on your YouTube channel, but I'll duplicate it here as it may be of interest to other newbies, like me... I'm a retired professional photographer but I'm completely new to viewing night skies and astrophotography. I'm expecting delivery of my first telescope tomorrow. Your video is the first I've seen that gives a totally clear explanation of all that's involved with polar alignment, so thank you very much for that. The graphic of the Earth's rotational axis shown at the beginning is brilliant. The only question that remains for me is, what if you don't have a polar scope? I've ordered an Orion 07020e 9x50 right angle finder with corrected view ('erect' being the correct terminology?). This has illuminated cross hairs, but it doesn't have the circles shown in your video. How would I use this to get exact polar alignment? Second question, to which I can't find an answer, once I have polar-aligned correctly, if I then move the rig to a nearby spot (say within 50 metres) and make sure that the mount is again exactly level, is that OK? Or do I have to re-align the rig every time I move it?
