Thanks Logan for your response. I am going to get Mark to come over as soon as we get a clear night or to and I am not busy. I think I am missing a step with my LX200. It should not be that hard. I have an electronic protractor and I have the Alt set to the correct setting for my location 35 Deg. I have the AZ set to 170Deg for polar south and have three different compass to set it with, Even one of those fancy ones with the sight on it. I just don't wee what I am doing wrong? I have had alignment before and PHD guided fine, but I think that was just a luck thing. Most times when I try to align I spend all night in total frustration. I will and do need to get this alignment thing down pat so I can concentrate on taking pictures. I do have a Field De-Rotator also that I have had good results with, however I want both options.


Thanks
Mardy
