Polar scope drama!

[recceranger]

Guys,

A while back I purchased an HEQ5 Mount from RVO. The reticule in the polar scope has slipped well out of center while I was following instructions on how to properly zero and I cant re adjust. Is there anywhere I can bring it in order to get it zeroed or is there an easier way?

I was originally following some online instruction but its a little more complex than made out on video!

Many thanks

Rick.

Hi Rick,

Do you mean that the reticle has slipped inside the polar scope itself or is it just a case of not being able to collimate the polar scope in the mount?

Hi,

Yes I cant collimate the the polar scope. Tried the TV Ariel method and made a bit of a mess of it! It was only out a little and my attempt completely buggered it up.

It's a bit fiddly but once you get the hang of it it is fairly simple. If it's well out then you could just back the three adjustment screws off and then screw them each back in by the same number of turns. That at least would get you somewhere near the middle as a starting point...

Thanks for that. It really worked. I will take a bit more notice of instructions next time!

Great mount though, even a beginner like me can get the hang of it.

Thanks for the assist.
