Thank you I have done as specified and then further adjusted visually the difference between city latitude 52 and visual 32 is high, so the question it is normal or you always find polaris near to city latitude?

Sorry its German Equatorial..here is the pic

Hi ..its Equatorial Mount

Hello All, I am absolute beginner in Astronomy and just bought a telescope with Eq mount. I have gone through some YouTube videos trying to setup the mount. One thing is to do is Polar Align. Now its says you set the latitude of your city and polaris will be near by that angle but in my case the latitude is around 51.5 I m in UK, Swindon but when i check the polaris star and adjust the angle it goes to 32 round about so my question is: Is that normal or Iam doing it completely wrong. I can confrim that iam pointing it to polaris confirmed both visually and via Sky Map app. Please help. Thank you.
