[AZ-Observing] UPDATE: Need Advice on Losmandy Polar Alignment

I want to thank everybody on the input.  After looking at the problem I 
found that the reticle was misaligned about 1/4 FOV off center.  I also 
found that the polar scope axis was different that the RA axis.  After an 
hour of adjusting I centered the reticle.  I then wrapped the polar scope 
with clear heavy duty packing tape to help center the polar scope in the 
RA shaft.  I also wrapped Teflon tape around the  Diopter eyepiece 
threads so it would shift when touched.

All of this helped.
