I have a G8 that I have been having some problems with. I can not get an accurate polar alignment on the mount. I use the polar alignment scope and align Polaris and the 2 other reference stars then proceed to drift align the mount. I have a feeling that my reticle in the polar scope is not centered or I am drift aligning the mount incorrectly. Is there somebody in the Phoenix metro area with a G8 or G11 that they polar align for astrophotography? I would like to meet up with you during the next star party or chat over e-mail.
