Stu,
I am using an Orion Skyview pro mount. Synscan V 4 go to.
My fwd. leg marked north is dead north with the counterweight shaft aligned with the north facing leg. The scope is aligned above (i believe).
I believe i mis-spoke about moving to Polaris to align. I am NOT using the clutches to move the scope. I do have a polar alignment scope as well, but it's set up and use escape me.
I will look into the setting circles further. What bothers me about them is they are adjustable.....therefore in my mind even if I am perfectly polar aligned I can adjust the circles to "say" anything. Having said that, the scope should still be aligned correctly because the circles do not physically move anything on the mount.
I know the solution is staring me right in the face....Thanks again for your advice and patience...I move my scope so it does not have a permanent spot.
