Hi Max
Have you removed the wedge (no longer required) and placed the LX200 base and fork assempbly on the tripod (Leveled).
You then need to rotate the azimuth from one stop to the other ( about two full turns) then place the fork assembly at the mid point. Next set the OTA to a position horizontal to the ground with the finderscope at the top. Loosen the azimuth base enough to rotate the assembly so that the OTA points to the north. This is refered to as the home position and is where you will start the alignment from.
You can now turn the telescope on and from the setup menu select ALT/AZM mode and enter your time date and location. This will reduce the time it takes for the GPS to get a fix.
Follow the rest of the alignment procedure. If you are lucky the auto alignment may even work.
