I have just been tinkering out the back with the counterweights off and attempting some sort of polar alignment. I found that the what I was looking at was quite a bit lower than where the SCP should be.
Now I have made an assumption that the telescope should be parallel to the polar axis of the mount and if I place an inclinometer on the scope after the mount has been levelled, it should measure the same as the latitude marker on the mount.
Well I had to raise the latitude to just on 25 degrees to level the scope. So either the level bubble in the mount base is out or the latitude marker scale has moved.
Any thoughts ?
