    just find an area that gives you a good view of the horizon and away from city lights.

    did it come with instructions at all?

    best of luck with it, great to see people interested in this area.

    The instructions look like something that could build a nuclear bomb!

    my own was very similar, nearly put me off setting it up, but i persevered and got there. i actually labeled everything to try prevent future frustration. kinna worked but could be better
