Perhaps that's a fair point, which answers my question but in an unexpected way, so thanks. Certainly it will be polar aligned on a fixed mount, but I didn't realise that it will maintain its ability to point perfectly at a given star when I switch it off and on again, particularly if the clutches have been released when it is switched off, or the "home" position isn't perfectly "upright" (if you know what I mean). When I switch my EQ6 on and begin alignment, it goes near the star, but not exactly to it; I assumed that would also happen on a pier.

Thanks,
Bruce
