While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

I am learning to use the LX200 in polar mode and just got the wedge
installed. I have a question concerning the RA scale: the manual is rather
coarse about it and says: "The R.A. Setting Circle has two sets of numbers,
the inner set is for Southern hemisphere use, while the other is for
Northern hemisphere use." I am puzzled: it looks to me to be exactly the
reverse. Can someone confirm who is correct ?

Pierre
