------------------------------------

Just made some major equipment changes.  Lost the LX-50, Aquired a GM-8.
Lost the 201XT. Aquired (not here yet) an ST-4.  Can't wait to get things
up and running BUT-

the reticle in the polar scope on the GM-8 appears to be set to far forward
in the polar scope tube.  As a result the three star alignment cannot be
achieved since the reticle pattern is to large.  I believe its made by
Celestron.  Has anyone had any experience with these polar scopes. Can they
be adjusted or does it have to go back to Celestron.
