However, if the red LED does not work or the reticule is just not visible for some reason, you can always use the QHY PoleMaster (sold by Gama Electronics) to achieve excellent polar alignment.

Hi Dennis,
Thank you so much for the photos - really useful! I'm also surprised how crude the arrangement is - not what I would expect from Takahashi.
Does the PoleMaster fit the EM-200?
John.
