Yes. We had never set up the Starlapse and aligned it, we adjusted the elevation pretty close and the azimuth was pretty as well, but it certainly wasn't right. In the configuration we had it in, and if we were polar aligned, there wouldn't be any need to adjust it at all, I expected to have to do EQ flip but it wasn't necessary.
Better planning, such as having the rig set up at least 1 or 2 nights before hand and drift aligning (although it does have a polar scope), I expect that we would have been able to image all day without a problem.
