Following Leo’s post regarding Solar Noon , True South , and Polar Alignment
here’s how I find my True South line to set up up my tripod and mount before commencing polar alignment.
1/ Solar Noon Method to find True South Line ( attached )
2/ Setting tripod to align to True South
Hope this helps
Cheers
Martin
PS : I use a digital electronic level ( Accumaster ) to level the mount base of my EQ mounts tripod and also check altitude during polar alignment procedures ( refer link below )
I also use it to check my base is level on my 12” Goto dob visual telescope.
Bubble levels are ok but these are better
