Celestron C8-NGT

[christo]

Hi all

I'm looking for a bit of advice. Got a 8inch Celestron reflector with goto for my birthday in February and have only had a couple of opportunities to use it thanks to the cloud. Being ever hopeful I will be getting it out more often in the future!! When I've used it I didn't align it, just a bit of 'point and look'. I was wondering if anyone else has a similar system that uses the 3 star align system and if they have any tips for me when it comes to alignment. I tried the auto-align but it was well out. The scope was pointing far too low.

Any tips or ideas would be most greatfully appreciated. Bet I sound like a right moron!!

Cheers

Chris
