Tandem scope mounts

#1

Post by pat4ster »

I have a tandem scope bar on my CGEM, main 400 mm scope and guider scope point EAST on CGEM at home position. How do I do a Sharpcap Polar align with scopes pointed East? Thanks.

Hi,

All you need to do is put the scope into the more standard home position of +90 declination before starting. Basically point it at the north celestial pole and then work through the steps of capturing images rotating et cetera.

Cheers, Robin
