Now that I've managed to spend time to carry out some basic exercises to determine what the best setup is with this totally new camera, I'll be able to spend productive time to actually take better images.

I purchased a Suunto M-3 Global compass today

It has a built in clinometer too. I'll pop into bunnings sometime this week to see if I can buy a spirit level made from non-ferrous metal, then give the astrotrac another whirl hopefully with better luck.
Did you get the polarie-specific polar scope yet?
