Hi Tony after some strange reactions with my handpiece I have now had a go at doing the alignment as per HD manual and was very close to cracking it last night but run out of time. I do believe the handpiece does build up some type of memory to how auto align works because twice my GPS dropped out.
Surely takes a long time to do when not fully converse but each time I go back to guiding the star to the Cross hairs I have become quicker in doing it using polar align>align Wedge enter align<Sync> then back again to cancel sync and then go thru the process again.
I may have run out of adjustment on Azimuth direction on my wedge and may have to take off the scope and adjust mounting plate to another position. I hope to find that out tonight.
FYI My wedge is mounted to a secure post in the ground so cannot just move the legs around on the Tripod to get it smack onto SCP
At least making progress
Thanks to your help.
Cheers
