You're a bad Mofo my brother!!! Excellent tutorial. Straight to the point, clear cut directions, and the tying the phone to the mount was genius. I've wasted my time watching countless vids and nothing as perfect as this. Thanks my friend, you sir are the best!!!
That's what she said
The way how the cross hair app works is the left and right side of the cross hair is azimuth and the top to bottom crosshair is your altitude angle. This is your latitude position on earth.
The longitude or azimuth angle is for positioning horizontally, The Telescope. But you should do this with the scope on the tripod. One other thing, one of the 3 legs is always facing north with the RA shaft facing north. Hope this helps for everyone here! Thanks,
RJ 😊
Wow super useful video. I’m not tightening my Iphone 12 Pro with a metal wire like that, but definitely thank you for taking your time and sharing this knowledge.
I Was Thinking,Wait,I Made A Promise My Iphone 11 Pro Would Never Be Attached To Another Scope After Dropping From A Cell Phone Holder Off My 6se,Oh No..Not Again..I Got Away With Just The Screen Protector Glass Breaking.
Mahesh..I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation..Slow and clear and STEP BY STEP...I wrote down almost every word you spoke during your presentation..including "Boom it's Done"Cell
Mahesh...I've had the "Polar Scope Alignment Pro" on my Cell Phone, but never took the time to find instruction on its use...Thank you for instruction on this App..Plus...Your direction on setting up the Polar Alignment is especially important for me since I live in cloudy Florida and cannot see Polaris until the winter time...I will use this presentation often..Thank you...
p.s. You never did show how to turn on the scope or the cell phone...(:
Cell phone? 😆 That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Yes! That is the best way! Both hardware and software. Don't forget that magnetic north is at a declination. For my example, it's 13° west of true north. Phone apps compensate this when finding the real North Pole. I used that for years, and it works pretty good!
Thanks, RJ
Glad you approve. Consider giving. a Super Thanks to help the channel.
Thank you for sharing this Mahesh - super useful…I have been trying to figure this out for ages and you have an immediate solution - many thanks!!!
I agree with you VideoDump
I agree that the one leg should "point away" from North. However, most quality mounts have the azimuth stops facing NORTH for azimuth control (Right where tripod leg is) so that you don't have much choice and cant have a leg facing "south". Thanks!
This Is The Most Useful Video,Other Than Doing a Drift Alignment,Which Is Similar..Think Im Ordering The Exos Nano For A Grab and Go To Pair With My Mak90..And a Have a Cpl Of Wireless Camera’s,Nothing Fancy But The Moon Is Ok,Thank You and Have a Great Day❤️🙏🏼🌏✨🔭
Glad it helped

Why you type like that boy?
@@MaheshWalatara ,Im Not a Boy,I Just Type Like This Due To Habit
@@MaheshWalatara Ha!
Very useful. Thanks.
I'm at 10degrees north and this is also how I setup. Nice video!
No worries
Clever. Thank you for this creative approach
Any donation to the channel will be alleviated.
Thank you! very good job.
Good work my friend.
Thank you very much!
Great video!
Thanks!
I have a question I have the same exact mount do you have the hexium 130 telescope and if you do when you point at stars do you the star or the secondary mirror I see the mirror
On The 2nd Part..I Dont Know Where Your Placing Your Phone,Or What Your Doing For True North
Good tips...This would be great for setting up Solar Imaging! just not sure how I'm going to attach my phone to my oddly shaped Skywatcher HEQ5 Mount. Would have to 3D print some type of mounting gizmo. (update: just noticed that iphone will magnetically stick to the top of the counterweights. done!)
Yeah
excelent! One question please: I just bought a new skywatcher120/1000 rig with equatorial neq5 and I'm still learning the equatorial (before it had a 70mm with altaz mount. Once I managed to put it in parking position (orient the tripod to the north with a quality compass, level the tripod , level right ascension and level declination and adjust latitude of Madrid), can I consider that I am aligned with the polar? even if it is fake alignment?
I guess now i can point to the moon or planet, and i should be able to follow it only with RA movement?
because sometimes you want to see the moon during the day or because there is something that does not allow you to see the polar. And Would you know how many degrees you have to deviate to true north , since the compass will indicate magnetic north?
Just follow the video- watch it 3-4 times
@@MaheshWalatara Ha Ha Ha!...You do have a sense of humor Sir
I'm at 3 degrees north in lagos and this is frustrating because my mount is made in such a way that the leg is under the weight!
So turn it
@@MaheshWalatara I can't, it has an obstruction
@@MaheshWalatara should I cut off the wood ? I'm also chatting with the company I bought it from and they can't give me a response because its the weekend.
Sell it
Wood? Send photo.
I don't know how to make it work
Telescopes are made for rich old white folks in high latitudes.
@@MaheshWalatara ,Damn..Thats Rude
@@MaheshWalatara or us poor white folks in Low Florida Latitudes...27 degrees

Man your voice should be used in Japanese anime for English dub
I agree Vaibhav...Mahesh has an excellent voice for instructing...Slow and Low and Extremely Clear
Absolutely
I don't own an iphone. 😢
Awwww
@@MaheshWalatara maybe I will try with a magnetic compass + latitude that might work. Because I try it before I almost did it but I still failed in leveling my mount
