Astronomy Q rather than moneysaving Q.

Kinnairdy

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum, my question is not really moneysaving related but as I live in N.E. Scotland I hoped this might be the best place to ask -
Are there any Amateur Astronomers in the Huntly/Banff/Turriff area who would be willing to help me set up my telescope properly, am very new to this and unsure how to set RA & Dec on the mount properly.
Please feel free to PM me if you are able to help.
Thank's and apologies if I should have posted elsewhere.
