If you are seeing big errors at first its worth making a big adjustment to work out which way to turn. Remember that when you are poiting t the hoizon you adjust altitude and when you are pointing at the meridian you adjust azimuth.

Now you tell me
I had this mixed up the very first time way back years ago.
I have been trying to get polar back since I moved the mount onto a pier and have started building the box ob around it all... but between much cloud
...and a night or two ago having got it half reasonable
after further adjustment completly stuffed it
...
I hope its cloudy tonight so I dont have to bother with it
...but if its clear I cant help myself..and that is crazy cause the mount will have to moved when I do the next stage of the ob box...
