AJ here is an "out" for the 1.5 to 2 deg error ( I have used it before),
since Polaris is a binary star you were using the "other" star to look for
"other" objects

It wasn't mentioned on the list as I just discovered it day before
yesterday. To be more specific there was NO problem with the telescope, it
was operator error. Couldn't figure out why it was off 1.5 to 2 deg. When
polar aligning I was putting Polaris on the rong side of the NCP - duh!
Took long time but there was lots of waiting for clear skies, replacement
parts and e-mail responses.
Clear skies,
aj
