Greg,
Congratulations on the new Obs
Well done !!
Is that 12” f3 / f4 or a 10” f3 / f4 ?
Looks great what ever it is

Yeh I used the solar noon shadow method as well to scribe my True N/S line on my deck prior to building my NexDome on it.
Luckily I was only a degree or two out so I didn’t need to move the Azimuth too much for polar alignment. All my concrete piers lined up spot on too for the EQ8 pier tripod legs and feet , whooosh. It paid dividends to quadruple check things months and months prior to final install

I bet your pumped at the moment with the new set up and can’t wait to get your teeth into some imaging !!

Clear Skies
Martin
