Ok heres the story, i have a meade LX-6, and im looking to do some astrophotography. I know how to roughly polar align just fine, but the past 4 nights ive been working to get it as close to perfect as i can and i cant come close. I tried aligning with Arcturus tonigh and it kept drifting right (in the eyepiece). So someone told me if it moves eat or west that my mount needs to go up or down, so i tried both. BOTH ways the Arcturus STILL drifted the same way, and about the same distance. I cant figure this out and im getting angry. Also i just tried my meade off axis guider for the first time with my olympus om-1 only to find the eyepiece i put it doesntfocus right on any stars, when its focused in the camera its not in the eyepiece. Can ANYONE help me with these problems?
