Meade ETX-125PE. Mounting & 2 star alignment (Alt/Az)
This video is a poorly made and patronising attempt at helping you get the scope onto the tripod correctly and to align it using the 2-star method.
Before you start, you must have entered the date and time into the handset along with your location. Instead of choosing your nearest city, use Google Earth to get your location’s coordinates.

(free, stand alone astronomy software. Doesn’t need an internet connection when used, so you can take it with you when using the scope!)

Sky-Watcher World
We make telescopes with the intention of bringing the treasures of the sky within reach of anyone curious enough to look up and wonder. We have been making telescopes since 1980. Our optics are of the highest quality, and every telescope for a wide range of observing applications, from 50mm spotting scopes right up to 150mm (6″) refractors, 200mm (8″) reflectors, and 250mm (10″) Dobsonians.
Whatever your interest, terrestrial or celestial, there is a Sky-Watcher Telescope that will suit your needs at an excellent price.
