Skywatcher star adventurer Polar alignment tips

[william_swe1]

I have the skywatcher star adventurer and i always have truble with Polar alignment. The biggest hazle is that there is no horisontal adjustment on the star adventurer or my tripod. Is there any kind of adapter i can have between my tripod and the star adventurer mount?

The second biggest hazle is that the stars looks out of fokus sometimes. I cant find any way to focus the polar scope. Am I doing anything wrong?

All tips are welcome! I want to polar alignmen as fast and as accurat as possibly!

Do you have the wedge ?

I just give the tripod legs a kick to get Polaris in the Polar scope, turning the end of the polar scope should get it focused.

If you have the wedge, there are 2 knobs for horizontal adjustment as well as the one for vertical.

Horizontal adjustment is at the back..2 side knobs
