I normally just do a drift align (I know its accurate as I use WCS program and all is well). Then I power off and back on - Do a easy polar align. Centre on Sigma without viewing it (as my wedge is already drift aligned). Then when the scope slews to the alignment star I release the Dec clutch and manually slew to the star. Then I use the HBX to slew in RA (as I statred polar with RA at 0.0 and used a level to check already).
This worked PERFECTLY the night before - but last night didn't seem to work!
This has become a mystery to me now! How it could be so accurate one night and then not the other!
Anyone elese experience this intermittent issue?
