I tried again last night 5/may as the weather was stable. My Polar alignment was better I was around 5 to 10 arc min off. One more night should get me a good polar alignment of under 1 arc min. I spent about 2 hrs doing this in 10C temp.

I had issues using EQmod when I was near the meridian, EQmod would just stop and display meridian limit.. After reading about it, I found out its a safety issues and you can turn it off.

Is their any other tips people can give me?
I do level my tripod each time so its flat. I also balance my telescope also.
I use a ZWO120mm as my guide scope and I just bought a EQdirect USB.
My camera is a Nikon D7100 plugged into BackyardNikon trial version.
