Hi thanks the those tips!
Im using the one that came in the box with my Nextar SCT 8SE.
Can be annoying these past few days when its cloudy, to get the only stars I recognise when I do the "sky Align" function to align it. But I usually get a confirmed match. But at this beginner stage I dont know if the alignment is really accurate as I said below that I tend to have to slew about to find what I assme is the correct star.
Just read that with my 1.25" Diagonal Back all the views are flipped left right, ohh noo. How to nagivate star charts ? No wonder Im always slewing the wrong way!!! Thats going to really twist my brain!
