I know this may have been asked a hundred times; but I just wanted to check as the SCP is just below my roof line and using the polar finder doesnt become as useful as intended.
My understanding is that I point the mount roughly south compensating for magnetic declination which would be roughly 184degrees? for Perth.
Then set latitude on mount to latitude where I live; which from Geoscience Australia is 32degrees.
then from there add counterweights; and scope and do a balance test horizontally.
then do a 3-star alignment and all should be good for visual use with GOTO.
I have to say the manual is shocking; and at times seems to make absolutely no sense at all.
I saw this post with 'ponders' polar align approach ; and thought this may help apply to me.

can the polar scope though be removed from the Eq6Pro without damage to use this method?
Sorry newb here with new mount; and need all the help I can get.
