Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Hi Cliff/Kelvin

If you could bring your scope over to my place, I can guide you through the process of setting up and using your scope. :) You can find lots of useful information about the ETX series of scopes at www.weasner.com/etx

Go to CC's place for quick guide. But if you are over at the North area, I can teach you too. Depend on you...you decide who is nearer.

BTW, is your problem on the setup or on using Autostar?
