In north aligning my LX50, some confusion has set in regaring the actual
location of the North Star. One person has told me that the compass on
the tripod is compensated and that I should align the tripod exactly
with the north end of the needle. Another told me that the north star
should be dead center in both the finder scope and the main scope. Yet
another told me that it should be off center by half the distance from
the center of the spotting scope to the edge of the field, but they
weren't sure if it should be offset to the right of left in the field of
view. ARG!!! HELP SOMEBODY!!! Please tell me where the north star
"should be" in my field of view. Thanks - Richard Gans
