Hi,

I hope this does not seem like a cop out but this video will help more than a typed description that I can produce would I think. It covers the EQ5 Pro mount which has GOTO and I think is similar to your mount:

Hi John & Isabelle

The video says it all, but if you don't have a GoTo EQ5 and are doing visual it's much simpler.

Level the Tripod, roughly align on Polaris with the weights straight down, you're done for visual.

During the day, point the scope at a distant object and get focus, much harder to find rough focus at night.

Then align the finderscope to point exactly at the same point on the distant object.

Michael
