Thanks Doug,

I will definately try your method. I havnt got my wedge yet and am a bit anxious about if i can use it properly as polar alignment on an alt/az mount with wedge seems like a very arcane art.

When i look at some of the photos in the forums though i think it is something i very much want to learn.

My problem will be, my backyard is unsuitable so i have to go to a local park to setup. The isssue here is that is only 2km, maybe less from the center of Sydney and not many stars are visible.

Anyway, thanks for all your ideas, when i get my wedge and try it i will tell you how i go. I guess there is not much point talking about it, i need to get out and try.

Paul
