Equatorial Only Mount?

My question is whether this Polar Alignment routine can be used with a fork mounted scope on a wedge? From what I've seen it specifies an equatorial mount.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

it should work fine as it doesn't care about the physical arrangement of the mount, just the fact that it rotates at an axis that should be pointing at the NCP.

cheers,

Robin

Robin,
That's excellent news as I've been wanting to try this out, just not sure if it would work!

Thanks,
Bob
