Polar alignment

With a tool like the program “Sharpcap” 10 arcsecond precision is achievable. 

Multiple star sky models can correct goto and tracking but field rotation not. For this 
reason good polar alignment is essential for astrophotography.

Do not remove or add accessories after polar alignment because it will hamper 
precision.

Keep the central locking tight while adjusting. The mount will be able to rotate 
smoothly on the hard plastic pads.

Below is the result of the polar alignment process with Sharpcap
