A picture is worth a thousand words...this is a square pier with a square EQ head on it. I have 2 EQ mounts so I have no trouble finding the pole, my question was more along the lines of should the pier face the SGP or magnetic south. I'll build it so it faces the SGP not magnetic south.

The clinometer app I use is accurate enough. I have used Solar noon to find true south, as well as the length of wood on the ground with a compass as described by Trevor Hand...that works too.

Cheers
