Polar Alignment Step-by-step: astrobackyard.com/polar-alignment/

Polar alignment is an essential part of your telescope set up process. In this video I show you how to polar align a german equatorial telescope mount (EQ) in the Northern Hemisphere.

The mount I am using for my demonstration is a Sky-watcher HEQ-5 Pro Synscan. To properly align your telescope, it is important to know your latitude coordinates on Earth so you can make the appropriate adjustments to your tracking EQ mount.
