2. To move the telescope in right ascension (east/west) there are two options. For large and quick movements, loosen the right ascension knob when moving the telescope and then tighten the knob when you are near the position you want. For very small movements and fine adjustments, turn the right asc...

Latitude Scales The easiest way to polar align a telescope is with a latitude scale. Unlike other methods that require you to find the celestial pole by identifying certain stars near it, this method works off of a known constant to determine how high the polar axis should be pointed (see figure 10)...
