Then send it 'home'This is one of the aspects of the german mounts I don't like, at least the skywatcher EQ series There is no correlation between the declination and RA circles as far as SCP goes, or anything else for that matter? The circles might as well not even be there for all the good they serve. Mind you with the polar scope well aligned it doesn't really matter.

Yep, I totally agree. You never really know if the scope is pointing accurately at the SCP in the Home Position. As long as the mount is, it doesn't matter too much.
