Just got a new telescope and have no idea how to set it up or get it polar aligned? Here's a complete walkthrough of getting an equatorial mount telescope set up, aligned, and ready for night's viewing for complete beginners.

Thank you very much for this helpful explanation of the puzzling multi-axis system! I definitely was fighting the design before; thanks for showing how to balance and move it. Total revelation! : )
Thanks for the video! It was excelent!
Very helpful! Thank you 👍
Excellent video! It helps alot to get uncomplicated instructions to setup a telescope.
Thank you! Just got mine and it's great to have a tutorial to follow!
Now I have clarity, thank you!
The polar alignment process has been driving me nuts with my telescope lol, and now i'm fairly sure that it's the telescope's fault - I think my declination scale is incorrectly positioned. My manual says position it at 90 degrees but I think it should be more like 10/11 based on the scale, is this wrong? i.imgur.com/C0NVgKi.jpeg
I really love your videos, I'm a newbie and they're so helpful.
Thank you! I just bought our first telescope and it has an equatorial mount and this by far has been the most helpful tutorial I have found to date.
Excellent video, spent a long time finding one that made sense
Very nice video. Thanks.
So helpful. You're a star! Thank you!
Great video! We’re just getting started with the hobby and the explanations were great!
Thank you for this video. I'm just starting out (mainly because my son wants to become an astromaster), and i learned quite a few things from your video. I am in the south, but not Australia 😂
Thank you! My dad gave me this telescope and this is the best advice I could find on how to get it set up.
This has been an amazing help for me, I purchased my first EQ scope today and I’m feeling pretty confident now! Just need to wait for some clear skys 🤞🏼
This channel is an absolute gem, I need to share this around I’ve been bingeing the videos! Side note Saturn looked beautiful tonight 😮💨😮💨🪐🪐
Many thanks! not used my telescope for years and that was the perfect revision course!
Great vid dude. Very clear and useful.
Is the Device Compatible with Electronic Lens Camera USB Connection? How can I supply
What do I do if everything looks like it’s all upside down? I have a celestron powerseeker 127 EQ and when I set it all up everything is inverted. I tried looking at a far away house and the roof was on the bottom and the windows were on top. I don’t know what I did wrong
Fantastic, even though I am in Australia 🇦🇺. I have just bought a used scope and you have dispelled a lot of fear.
Can we use motor drive with it
This is the first explanation iv actually understood 😂 fantastic tutorial sir. 🤜🤛
Thank you sir for filling in the gaps.. Very informative..
Hey brother you stopped posting? You have some of the best videos on CZcams. 10 out of 10. Don’t let your talent go to waste. Take care.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
ok👌💫💫💫🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
Most of these videos are not very helpful as they don't really speak to a beginner.
Hopefully you found this one to be different. I tried to make it as beginner friendly as possible.
Very, very helpful! Am following your instructions to the letter, and in a couple of hours will see the results. Thanks for taking the time to walk us through it!
'Just back from getting a free reflector from a Craig's List ad. I'm a few minutes into your video and I've doubled my knowledge. thanks, 'thumbs up and I've subbed
Brilliant video! I'm new to stargazing and you have made it sound so simple compared to a lot of other videos out there.
Everything good bro? You havent posted in a while
Thanks for checking! All good. I’m just swamped. We moved and are renovating our house. I’m hoping to start making videos (and stargazing) again by June or July.
@astrotourguide please do, just found your channel. You got good content.and only 3 videos? Wow
Great video. We just got the Orion Observer 90 mm reflector telescope, and we use your video to guide us. Otherwise, we just gave up. The booklet instructions aren't very clear. Thanks again.
Great video! At 12:03 the tube rings screws were not fully tighten. What was the reason?
You just need to tighten them enough that it doesn’t slide around on you, not all the way super tight. If you over-tighten them, it can bend the telescope tube. But by leaving them just tight enough to hold it in place, you can slide it around if you need to move the position of the eyepiece when you’re out viewing.
Thanks!
I live in Costa Rica and my apartment has a South view so I can't see the north star. How can I polar align it?
Look up your “magnetic deviation” for your location. Then you can use a compass to find magnetic north and then offset by the approximate degrees of deviation for your area. Then set the height based on your degrees of latitude. That’ll get you close enough for visual observing.

Very helpful! Question: If my mount is level, set to true north and altitude adjustment is properly set - would that be good enough for visual observations? I'll try both methods as soon as the clouds clear up!
Yes. If you’re just doing visual, just getting it level pointed to true north with the proper elevation set will be pretty good. You might occasionally have to adjust the declination knob as something drifts if it’s a little off. Whereas if it’s spot on you only have to turn the RA slow motion knob. But for most of the time, it’ll be fine. Once you do a full alignment on the North Star the first time, you’ll have the exact elevation set. From then on you can just set up and point to true north and you’re in business.
I’m a complete beginner and I really like your videos - I hope you go on to make many more!
Great video!! Thanks so much. I wish the manufacturer had something like this that came with the telescope.
Thank you , I just got the Stellarium app and I'm excited to be able to do some stargazing ! Update , I managed to see Jupiter and its moons , the Stellarium ap helped me to confirm it was Jupiter from the position of the moons , it's a great app!, Mars , Betelgeuse , and the Orion nebula with many stars contained in it . What I think is incredible is how easily it is possible to look at stars with the naked eye as opposed to how delicate the operation of finding them with the telescope and how quickly they move away from the centre of the scope .
Excellent video man thank you!!
This was so much help to a Newbie. Thank you.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Thanks for your very clear explanation of how to setup the mount. As I'm in Australia I'll need to align with the southern pole but I now have a much better knowledge of how to setup and use this type of mount.
wow excellent video. you sir are a good teacher. thanks
Please make more videos!!
Careful what you wish for! 😬 Planning more videos to shoot right now!
@@astrotourguide awesome! I just got my first telescope for my 40 birthday, which was on December 26 A solomark eq3....(not sure that's how you write the model number or whatever but your video was head and shoulders above the rest as far as getting acquainted with the basics. Such as alignment. So grateful happy new year
Excellent tutorial
2:27: is it possible I see my eyelashes when I look into the scope? What's wrong?
Yep! Nothing’s wrong. Sometimes they just get in the way. 😎
Like your approach to giving a tour with stellarium and simulating finder scope - then scope - all very clear - I have a Celestron powerseeker 127mm - got for birthday - and your video on setup - helped me too. But thinking I maybe need to invest in a better scope to see what you simulated with the Polaris 130mm - seems like the mount is real shaky too - so hard to use lots of magnification - like your idea of using binoculars to start out too - will get some along with that trigger mount. Any suggestions on how I can soup up my Celestron - to not be frustrated finding your objects? I have around a 2K budget - thanks again - you have a relaxing way of teaching...looking forward to your next sky tour!
Look on Amazon for a “rock sling for camera tripods.” The extra weight will help to stabilize the shaky mount, which is that telescope’s weakness. Or, with a $2,000 budget, invest in a really good goto mount, like a Skywatcher EQ6-R.
