Polar aligned by Solar Noon line with a plumb bob from the mount pointing at it (with the rear leg as the north point, the plumb bob the south point), and with a compass on a rig I made from aluminium that is secured to a dovetail bar and extends away from the mount by a metre.
Doing a Synscan 3 star alignment, the error tonight was a near spot on alt, with az 1 MINUTE out. I did not run a drift alignment to remedy it.
I don't use EQMod. Just the hand controller and the laptop as guide platform and camera capture software.
This way has worked flawlessly for over a year, so no, it is NOT how I align an set up at fault.
Dec seems to be at issue, yes.
