Neil,
Many thanks for your suggestions, I particularly like the Azimuth label idea!
Park I just selected so the dome shutter faces the house at a pleasing angle.
I Have to re-read the "sync home to xxx degrees" setting again. What I tried was slewing the scope with the dome slaved to it, then in software disconnecting the dome, then in the dome driver settings altering the Home position between 90 - 130 degrees and re-connecting the dome with track telescope set in MaximDL Dome control tab which would cause the dome to adjust position relative to the telescope, all with varying useful results dependent on which part of the sky the telescope was pointing.
Your Offset North South and East West comments sound rather sensible, so after a coffee I am going to try measuring things more accurately with a plum line.
One question, why did you choose varying the reed switch Home location with the sync Home to xxx degrees rather than the set Home position to that figure - was it just easier to change on the fly or easier to change when the scope is in any specific region of the sky?
Many thanks,
Matthew
