Polarscope Centring

[nheather]

I have an Skywatcher EQ3 mount and have recently bought the new style polarscope ...

My EQ3 has the old style polarscope holder that I know must be removed and replaced with the new polarscope

Now I know to centre the polarscope you must aim at a distant object (best in daytime) and then move RA and see if the target remains centred.  If not you adjust the three screws near to eyepiece until it does.

So my question.

I have read on here, suggestions of removing the hex grub-screw adjusters and replacing them with the thumbwheel adjusters from the old holder.

What do you reckon?

I can see it a lot easier to adjust

But I have images of undoing the grub screws and the reticule falling out of place.

Would appreciate your views.

Cheers,

Nigel

Hi, replacing the thumbscrews makes the whole task easier if you replace them 1 at a time you should be ok if your unsure just tip th RA over or remove the polarscope so that the reticule cant drop backwards.
