Martin, when you've been doing your alignment procedures, have you taken into account Adelaide's magnetic declination??. It maybe the reason why you're so far out. When you use your compass to find south, you have to remember that this is actually magnetic south, not true south. What you need to do is find out what the magnetic declination for Adelaide is and subtract that from the reading for magnetic south, e.g. If in Adelaide your magnetic dec is, say, 10 degrees E, true south will be at 170 degrees magnetic on your compass. That's the direction in which you align your scope.
