Thank you Tyler I will definitely chuck some questions at you if I need to. Looks like I might have a gap in the sky tonight so going to test a few ideas I'll get back if I have success. Thanks Bill B

Thanks for the info I'm going to try your way and not use the crosshair, I hope your mount comes back with no problems. If I manage to figure anything out in the meantime I'll let you know.

I wrote a post above explaining what I done but I think the main issue was not understanding the Polar scope diagram, I think I was aligning incorrectly.
