Here thanks to Astro_Baby

[SkyHermit]

Hi all.

Found my way here from Astro_Baby's site. Bought an HEQ5 mount, to put an LXD55 8" SN on and was completely baffled by the instruction manual when it came to checking it was calibrated properly for polar alignment. After several hours of frustration and trying to remain patient with curious kids I reached for my laptop to search for help.

Astro-Baby to the rescue, hurrah, all sorted in minutes. So finding her all wise, how could I resist the advice to head for S/Lounge

Looking forward to Saturday night when we are forecast clear skies down here on the South Coast.

Well let me be the first to say hi and welcome then Glad the guide was helpful - thats what I do them for really so other people dont have to bang their head on things hard

I know the HEQ5 manual drove me to almost give up and buy a Dob

Astro Baby is a star. My EQ6 awaits her virtual ministrations...
