How do I do a polar alignment id I can see the celestial south pole from my location?
Hi

I have a ETX125 and the tracking on it leaves a lot to be desired. So I'd like to do a polar alignment but have never really bothered with it because the south pole is obscured by trees and a house.

I have a compass but that only tells me where south is that enough for polar alignment after I set the wedge to the right degree for latitude?

Thanks
