OK, after having sat in front of the wedge and looked at the latitude scale (the gradient from 0 to 60 - duh!), and the fact that Sigma Octans is always visible, everything clicks now.
My latitude is 33 degrees 43 minutes south. This is the same angle from a horizontal plane to the south celestial pole. It all makes sense.
I've also taken magnetic declination into account as well.
I think I'm ready to mount equatorially and also align correctly as well.
Regards,
H
