Hi Chris,
put a camera in your focuser.
Point the telescope at about 45 degrees altitude facing North.
Start taking an exposure while pressing the West button X1 speed on you hand control for 40 seconds.
Then Press East X1 speed for 40 seconds.
Then stop.
Finish the exposure.
Check that you have a straight line back and forth on the camera picture.
If you have a V shaped line you're not polar aligned.
Adjust the mount rotation screws left or right and repeat until
you get a straight line.
cheers
Allan
