Thanks everyone,

Martin, I haven’t gotten round to your method yet.
Wavy, I’ve leveled my scope pretty accurately so the setting circles in home position should point the scope at the pole if NS aligned. I took your advice and just slewed to a star from there, and adjust the mount to get the star in view.....great tip and obvious in hindsight, it gets you roughly there abouts.

Zuts, your spot on, it’s an iterative process once your nearly there....I 2 star aligned and then used the polar align routine a couple of times, each time the az and alt corrections got the star closer and closer to the centre of the eyepiece. It’s currently approximately centre of a 12mm eye piece.

....deep sigh!

The gotos are still not great, but I’ll work on that next. Once Ive got it all perfect, I’ll go back to AZ!

Cheers

Hemi
