So we are talking north south earth coordinates then? True north as a pose to grid north or magnetic north?

I have the telescope set up on a wedge at my correct lattitude.

As part of the alignment process, the telescopes software tells me to point the tube, using the RA motor, at the meridian.

So I rotate the tube to point straight up as best as I can by eye. A line that goes from north to south straight overhead, must be straight up!!

No?
