Is this right? I have been setting the latitude on my EQ5 mount at 38 degrees (for Melbourne). Should it actually be at 90-38=52 degrees as DJDD says?

6. latitude setting
Make sure the latitude is x degrees from horizontal. i.e. for melbourne, teh latitude is roughly 38 degrees so I set my mount to (90-38) = 52 degrees. My mount has 0 degrees displayed at vertical and 90 degrees at horizontal. this made a BIG difference.
Hopefully, this helps you.
