Hi Sandy

Happy to help and I hope it does get you to where you want to be. I hear you about the setup and pull down time as I get to do this every time I am out.

Have you thought about marking out your area and leaving your mount head and tripod together at the end of the night? That way you can get a great polar alignment mark out where your tripod feet are and then come out the next night plonk your mount straight down do a quick check of your polar alignment once you have mounted your scope and away you go.

And in my initial reply I meant to type replace North with South, but I think you got where I was coming from.

Good luck and please get back to me/us to let us know how you get on.

Regards
Wayne
