Polar aligning the EM-200 mount

Posted By Jim Gahan

HELP!! :C
Could some kind soul please provide an ENGLISH
translation of the badly written 'Manual' on
polar aligning Takahashi's EM-200 mount.
A clear example of exactly where to set Polaris in the reticle
would be of immense value.
I live at 54N +8W(approx.) - GMT+0 time zone - so
ANY example of how its done for my location using
simple (preferably monosyllabic words) would incur my undying gratitude!!
Or directions to where this could be found.
Many thanks. grin
