Hi Peter
Make sure Stellarium is running at real time do not accelerate it when you want to read the star. Set your forks exactly paralell to the ground so that the meridian will be overhead. Don't use the SCP. swing the scope over and look for a star low in the north sky. Track this star using the the wedge azimuth and the normal declination control (telescope off). This will set the north/south line. Next set your scope to the 0,0 (azm) RA and 0,0 dec start up your scope and select a star in the north and press goto. All being well and if the scope was truly at 0,0 /0,0 the scope will slew to this star. centre it with the wedge controls (only) and you will be pretty close.
