Hi!
Some of you might remember me as the noob from the q's on focusing, and unfortunately I have another beginner question, this time on setting circles.
So I recently bought my first telescope, a Celestron 130 EQ, and after doing a fair bit of observing visible stars and planets, I tried to hunt for some DSO's using the celestial co-ordinates from the app on my phone. However, when I aligned the setting circles to the correct points, nothing could be seen. Ultimately, I did find the object using my naked eye, and it was way off from the co-ordinates given.
After repeating this with a few other objects, the issue remained. I have my latitude put in on the altitude dial, mount is aligned with Polaris, but the issue remains. I heard that sometimes the setting circles pointer can be wrong and needs to be adjusted, and if so, how should I do it? Is there any other reason for this to be happening?
