This drives me crazy. I have my mount setup on a good pier in my observatory and it is dead set pointed at the SCP, and yet every single time I do an alignment on the NEQ6 using Synscan I get errors, not much (under 1') but I don't like it. I have given up on precision in polar alignment, won't waste my time with drift alignment, and concentrate on guiding now, as the alignment gets me close enough to adust and frame the target object.

If there is anyone running a NEQ6 on a pier, that has precise polar alignment, I'd like to hear how they did (or do) it.
