Here is a finder chart for the SCP (centre of the two circles).
I always properly level the tripod with a spirit level before use.

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are saying? Dangle on the RA axis? (Sorry, I am still trying to learn all the new meanings that are associated with an EQ mount)

Thanks for the finder chart.
