I am a bit impacted by foliage so getting the stars is a bit of a struggle. It seems to first want Vega and the moves on from there.
Since I know the longitude and latitude are correct 33 degree 42 min N and 111degrees 45 min west (I am assuming the + on the longitude is for northern hemisphere), the screw up may be when I align to north I may be 180 out of phase. Just don't know what side of the tube the support is on. When pointed North is it left or right
Unit is a Nexstar 5. Got it free, so no manuals with it
