aligned polar scope

Spent an hour fine-tuning the polar axis finder scope in the Vixen/Celestron Super Polaris mount. I focused the "outer" tube to suit my vision, ensured the eyepiece focus ring was working smoothly, and spent a long time centring the polar scope reticule. It is now centred within 2 to 3 arc-seconds.

Clouds broke up over the afternoon. Maybe we'll get a chance to stargaze tonight...
