So at the end of the night / morning (4am) when I finally closed my star model down and did the last super model - after swinging its polar alignment advice all night it finally went back to the original assessment which is rather re-assuring:
Azimuth (MA)
Recommendation: Azimuth alignment is excellent. No additional azimuth adjustment is necessary.
Supporting information
MA is zero.
For latitude -33° 47' 28", rotate the mount clockwise (as seen from above) 0.0 arcseconds (0.0 arcminutes).
Elevation (ME)
Recommendation: Elevation alignment is good enough. No additional elevation adjustment is necessary.
Supporting information
ME is zero.
'Recommended ME' = 83.1 arcseconds (the refracted pole).
ME adjustment to get to above 'Ideal ME': 83 arcseconds (1.4 arcminutes).
The polar axis should be raised 83 arcseconds (1.4 arcminutes).
I was too tired to do the accurate polar alignment - so I shut it all down and will raise the 1.4 arc minutes on ME tonight.
