I have a question.

Hi, I have got a question that needs answering however it is quite a stupid one .

(1. I haven't tried to polar align my 'scope yet but when I do it, it will need to be about 52 degrees up. However if I want to look at Saturn in the south do I just hold the 'scope and turn that instead of the mount. Also, because Saturn is lower in the sky than Polaris I will need to change the altitude knob but the scale moves when I do it . Is the correct?

You do the polar align using the altitude and azimuth adjustments, after which you leave them alone. You just rotate the scope around the polar axis to reach the desired RA and around the declination axis to reach the desired DEC.

It takes some getting used to... but you will soon get the hang of it...

Thanks for the quick answers I have just got one more quick question. On stellarium, I want to use the ocular view but I don't know the information for the eyepieces and sensors. Do you know what the answers are?

EYEPIECES: Skywatcher 25mm & 10mm. I need aFOV, focal length and field stop.

SENSORS: Philips SPC900NC. Resolution x and y (pixels), Chip width and height (mm) and pixel width and height (micron).

Thanks for the help
