I got mine last Thursday, for my 51st Birthday. It took me less than 5 minutes to get a correct polar alignment, then a two star alignment, and I was off and imaging. It was great! I usually spend up to 1 hour aligning. I set up and pull down every time I image, and have placed marks on the ground to aid the placement of the tripod. However, over the last year or so, I have found that new street lights have been causing issues. I was too scared to move the location of the mount, because I new it was going to be a pain to align it again. On Saturday night, I took the plunge and moved it back, so that a brick wall would block the street light. Polemaster had me aligned and setup again in less than 5 minutes. I am very impressed with this.
