Hi Dennis,
Your setup procedure looks correct.
In regards to the moon, there is a declination knob that turns the setup to whatever declination you are after. The moon will not moon enough in the declination axis over the course of the session enough to be noticable. If you are worried about the variation of rise and set points, you can move the camera to those points using the declination bracket.
The tracking function of the mount for the moon, is the rate that the moon moves across the sky. It moves at about 0.5 degrees per hour compared to the other stars around it.
Hope this helps you
Lachlan
