How to use (aim) your equatorial mount telescope

This video explains exactly how to point an equatorial mount in several different directions (south, overhead, and north) with either a refractor and a reflector. Many telescope users figure out how to align their mounts, but then aren't sure how to aim it at objects they can find and observe in the sky. This video completely covers how to aim at stars, galaxies, star clusters or nebulae with your telescope, and does so in simple terms that are easy to understand.
