[APML] Guide scope alignment

["Donald Peterson" <donpetersonii@hotmail.com>]

Dear list,

I have always used an OAG, never a guide scope.  Just bought a Megrez 80 as 
a travel scope but would like to shoot some wide field with it using my 
primary scope as a guide scope.  Assuming proper polar alignment of the 
mount, is it necessary to precisely align the Megrez with my primary scope 
(which would be used to guide)?  The Megrez comes with some nice clamp-type 
rings and I am trying to decide whether I need to buy adjustable rings so as 
to align it.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Don Peterson
