A quick mention with true south, my back yard has a slope, I have pavers set for an accurate level when I have my mount out. Last time I used solar noon I put a large, flat sheet of ply down and levelled it so my line was going across a level surface. Previous attempts not using a level section of ground and the line was distorting due to the slope which made all of my efforts useless.
Have a level area to find true south or it will be out and, out a fraction on the ground with true south is still a long way from any target in space. Probably more prevalent with GOTO but it will affect tracking.

Leo,
Thanks for the tip
A level site is in my attached notes as I’ve experienced the same outcome
Cheers
Martin
