helped April

Helped April and her son with their NexStar 130 SLT. They did not know what the previous location was so I explained how to access the location settings and had them use Toronto. We simulated the full three star Sky Align process, indoors, where I emphasised the two-step with the Enter and Align keys. It worked, although the model was screwy.

I suggested precision in the location, the date and time, for planetary work, and to ensure the mount was level. Finally, I encourage them to visit during a City Observing Session. They were very happy. Sounds like they might join...
