See the illustration below if you are not sure where the North Pole is located.

To find astronomical objects, you will now mainly use the right ascension axis as the polar alignment

virtually eliminates needed adjustments in the declination axis.

To track objects continuously, adjustments will be made with the right ascension cable. If you use an

optional motor drive (this moves at the same rate as the Earth rotates), it will automatically track the

objects for you.

So, if using a motor drive, the objects observed through the telescope appear stationary (they do not

drift out of the field of view). When using the basic telescope, all objects in the sky will slowly drift

out of the field of view unless you manually make corrections with the right ascension cable.
