Thanks to everyone's advice on the forum I have made the plunge and bought myself an AZ-eq6.

As to be expected the clouds have rolled in, but I fired up the mount and had a poke around.

When I select the 2 star alignment prior to nominating the first star I get two messages:

Polaris position in p.score = 2:47

Polaris is HA = 6:26

I can't see any mention of this in the handset, what does this mean? Do I need to do something?

Thanks
Joe

It's the position of Polaris - hour angle. Irrelevant to you, as it's below your horizon!

It would be handy if it gave an hour angle for Octans.
