I recently recieved my Skywatcher HEQ5 PRO from FLO. Today has been the first opportunity to check that the polar scope reticle was properly aligned.

Previous experience (DIY upgrading EQ3-2) meant that I approached this task with trepidation. It took hours and caused more grey hair and less total hair volume as I struggled to align the polar scope that time.

Today, I picked my target, centred the reticle on the target and then rotated the axis by 180 degrees. The reticle didn't wander an iota.

To quote a couple of cartoon characters I know- Happy Happy Joy Joy!
