I've had my eq6 for two weeks now and read all the stuff I can on drift alignment and everything was going great until I brought my scope to the beaches for the first time last night.
I can point to the west easily enough to do an alignment but the house is on the north side of where I set up the scope and cuts out about 45 degrees of the sky. I couldn't get a good alignment last night. Where is the best place to do my second alignment? Is there something I am doing wrong? All suggestions gratefully accepted.
Thanks
