After a great time at Snake Valley and tons of help I've had a few attempts to polar align my HEQ6 with some mixed results.

I have a northern hemi polar scope filter so have been using a compass and spirit level only to get it happening.

My question is - once I set up the tripod pointing north and place the mount and scope on it do I need to place the scope in a "home" position before beginning the 1 star alignment - ie. pointing south ane level??

I have aligned to Achernar but when I try to "goto" another object the scope doesn't seem to know where it's at.

thanks guys
