Hey Josh, thanks for the tips. I've tried many sites and tips; however, jut can't seem to get it right. Not sure if i'm second guessing myself or not.

Dan, no, i'm not too sure what that group is sorry. I have mounted the scope on a pier in my back yard and just seem to have no luck with collimation or "slack" in the mount. As I can't see (due to street light) the area in the sky I require for polar alignments I have done so manually with a compass and theodolite. The biggest issue for me is drift. I successfully achieve three star alignment, but I get quite a bit of drift even over just a 10" exposure.
