    PA and star alignment are not related. PA aligns your mount and allows it to accurately track by just rotating in RA. Star alignment just tells the mount where the stars are. Having good star alignment WILL NOT compensate for poor PA in any way.

    What you have said in just 4 sentences clarifies what I could not find in many manuals...from a beginner, THANK YOU for this valuable clarification.
