Hi All,
I was finally able to get some form of polar alignment, SCP is directly over city lights (visibly orange light) so I cant see any stars, the inbuilt Polar scope doesn't see any stars. I used a combination of my DSLR and APT to take 5m exposures at 500mm to see star arc trails and centered the target cross hairs.
I realise this isn't accurate as its the camera being centered more than the actual mount, this inaccuracy became more noticeable the further away from SCP I imaged. I still felt like I made a lot of progress from the first time I used my mount as I was able to track pretty well up to 120s with some stars slightly elongated.
