Greetings All:
On the LX10, 50, etc., anybody out there use "analog" setting circles...i.e.,
get a good alignment on the pole star, then use declination/right acension
from a star atlas to navigate?
Ive not had luck doing this on my ETX (part of the problem, as Randy pointed
out, was the fact that I havent been able to get a bead on Polaris yet!), but
I want to make sure Ill be able to do this when I do get a good sighting
(after which Ill mark the ground somehow to always be able to set my tripod
again) and when I "upgrade" to one of the ETXs "big brothers".
Thanks all!
