Hi Graham. Sometimes there is cloud to the South and no chance of optical polar alignment, whereas the rest of the sky remains clear. Alignment is performed in the area of sky to be imaged. I can't image near the horizon from my place in any case, consequently, most is near zenith 30 - 40 degrees either side.

The best way is with a proper reticule eyepiece.
