you still have to allow for the latitude at the source, the pole sits at a diff angle for everyone depending on where you are, if you use a flat tripod -the rotation will be out slightly & you will get egg shaped or worse stars.

its getting the angle to the pole exact that can be tricky -there stars all rotate about this point, in a sphere that is the trick -if the sky was flat it would be no problem
