I hope someone in the Skunkworks can conceptualize this situation for me.. I guess I can go out in the dark and fumble around first, but thought this might be a first "easier step" as you can see in the photo, having installed the dual saddle dovetail adapter onto the mount, I am effectively changed the direction of the OTA's by 90ยบ. The tripod is still aligned with Polaris, the Declination head is turned... now my index marks are off. I know there is a simple solution (hopefully) thank you, JM
