  6. Hi' When i am looking through the Polar scope with the power and when the small light is on i can't see any thing through the Polar scope only a lot of specks.But when i turn the power off and then look through the Polar scope then i can see the Pole star in view but find it hard to see the small circle to place the Pole star.If i unscrew the Eyepiece to see if it is dirty inside the eyepiece, would i have to reline the small circle back to the Pole star by using software Thanks for reading.Mark

  17. If i tap the thread hole in the mount then use plumber tape around the bolt will that way work?.
  18. Hi' Yesterday i removed the both bolts from my NEQ6 mount and moved the pointer up to 55 degree .Then placed the both bolts back into the mount ready to move the mount down to 51 degree.The front bolt was turning fine but with the back bolt with the handle when screwing it in the hole had some play with it when turning it.Even screwing the bolt right to the end of the thread to the mount then the looseness had stopped.But when it was time to tighten the front bolt it went past 51 degree where i went the mount to stop.The bolts are new and there are no bends on them.I don't go to any astronomy clubs' for help or any advice because of my illness, i only go on forums and on here Thanks.Mark
