Ahh, the penny has now dropped!
So, the forks on a fork mounted SCT represent the polar axis of a German Equatorial Mount. Setting the wedge to 90-38 would then ensure the forks are pointing to the SCP and it’s the forks that would make an angle of 38 to the horizon, not the base of the mount.
Good pick up Mick and thanks for the clarification.
Cheers
Dennis
