glowjet Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi Glen and welcome to SGL, although you now have a link to the manual for your scope, you might also like to have a look at this web site, themcdonalds.net under the section "setting up an equatorial mount" there is a wealth of information which you may find useful. Enjoy your new scope and the forum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
