Black Knight Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 You need PolarFinder.exe by Jason Dale. I think you can get it here: http://myastroimages.com/Polar_FinderScope_by_Jason_Dale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenwolf Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 There is no default position within the polarscope tube. The calibration is done by the adjustment of the 'Index Ring', the orientation of the reticule with reference to the RA axis is not important.
