It seems the Meade manual is a little lacking on the procedures for making a polar alignment with my LXD75 8 SCT scope. I went through the posts on this forum but didn't find any info. Does anyone have a detailed step by step procedure for this for a rookie with his first scope?

Is it an Equatorial Mount or a Fork Mount?
