Thanks Michael,

I believe the iPhone Inclinometer uses a gyroscope and unlike a compass is not affected by metal. I get getting same reading regardless of position on the scope
My mount does have latitude scale but I am not certain how accurate it is so that’s why I thought using the Inclinometer instead
I put the compass on a piece of timber attached to the tripod about 1m far so this should be ok ?

The problem I am having is the scope not slewing close enough to the selected object and drift in tracking, could bad alignment be the cause ?
cheers, Uri
