how would i polar align this scope iam goin to make a wedge for it. more out of boardum lol ... seasons changing so pillows more ... but as you can see the GT is tilted back and its a foot and half hangin toward rear.. only thing i can think of .. use the 9by50 on a dovetail. align with it. then put scope on... any thoughts ??
the red lines. as you see one is wedge.. 2nd is i think the way the scope is to point. while the mount stays as is. pointing to polaris. ??

Phil, I'm not sure you can do it with that mount, unless the hand controller has a EQ mode, and I think it maybe near impossible to balance and setup, besides your going to put a hell of a lot of strain on the motors with having it at a angle and them motors won't last five minutes, I have the SW al az mount and both motors packed in with me not balancing correctly and thats just using it normally. The mount just isn't built for it, but maybe someone as done the mod.
I've got a MTP mount and i'm thinking of getting a wedge for it and some people have had success with it,
