Thanks to all for advice over setting up my pier. 2 nights ago I tooh a star trail photo and have gestimated that here in Victoria, the Magnetic pole is 12 degrees west of the SCP. Got to get it right before I concrete bolts for my Local Group pier, as it doesn't allow any rotational movement, and the azimuth leeway on the ultrawedge (for LX200GPS 10") doesn't appear to allow for much error in initial SCP alignment.
Would post the photo but I don't know how.
Many thanks again
