5.1. Alignment with Polaris
Point the mount to the Polaris. It is not important to be
exactly aligned with the Polaris– a rough alignment is fine.
Upon installing the supplied polar finder (B) we will look in
more detail on how to have the star in the centre of the polar
finder (B) field of view.
How to identify Polaris?
Polaris is not the brightest star on the sky but still easy to identify. Look up
to north and try to find the Big Dipper (constellation). This is a very
recognisable constellation. Polaris is about six times the distance and
direction of two of it's brightest stars – Merak and Duhbe.
5.3. Peek through the polar finder (B) and centre Polaris in the visual field.
Turn the tripod's fine-adjustment levelers to do so. Please read the following
section for more details on how to correctly use the MiniTrack LX2 NS and
the importance of correct balance.
