Hi Folks,
I'm looking for help in calibrating my new/used vixen GP-DX. I'm a bit confused regarding the directions related to the calibration of the RA/hour/date calibration with the position of polaris. On page 14 of the gp manual, see: http://home.online.no/~arnholm/astro/gpmanual/gpmanu14p.jpg for details.
The problem I have encountered is that the silver hour graduation ring freely rotates and I would expect it to rotate with RA rotation. That does not appear to be the case. Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks,
Tom
