AJ,
Testing is taking place on my back patio of my new-to-me C11/CGE scope.
It's a new scope epidemic!
May we both have good SCT/GEM tonight . . .
Matt

It wasn't mentioned on the list as I just discovered it day before
yesterday. To be more specific there was NO problem with the telescope, it
was operator error. Couldn't figure out why it was off 1.5 to 2 deg. When
polar aligning I was putting Polaris on the rong side of the NCP - duh!
Took long time but there was lots of waiting for clear skies, replacement
parts and e-mail responses.
Clear skies,
aj
