martin_h Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Isn't it funny how polar aligning is so much easyer when you remove the cap from the end of the scope What a plonker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I did the same a week back looking at Jupiter on a small refractor. Lined it up and couldn't see a thing, not even a star anywhere or even Jupiter. Didn't help when Imoved the scope up, down, left or right.Improved a lot with the objective cover removed, even saw Jupiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
