finderscope setup help


Recommended Posts

Hi Terry,

                  I've had a long hard think of some reason why I may not be getting the potential with my equipment....

Tonight I've decided to the following, I'll break it down for you and let me know if this right or add your remarks

1. CCD on and telescope slewed to VEGA.

2. Find and Focus on 1second repeat in nebulosity while I centre the star VEGA in the middle of the cross hair.

3. Using my finder scope I have also aligned VEGA in the centre of the cross hair too  

I have slewed onto the next star Dubhe. IT wasn't perfect in the centre of the Nebulosity find and focus cross hair or the finder scope ( probably about 2 cm away )

Anyway

Slewed to 3rd Star Capella and still pretty far away from the centre of the cross hair.

What am I doing wrong? I thought he 3rd star would be pretty much dead on?
