First time with Az-eq6

I have the same mount as you, and the same pain in the neck problem!

here is a device I made for under £10 which makes it sooo much easier to polar align

cheers

PS: chris, that's an interesting point about turning off the encoders, any idea why that should be?

Nice solution.

I believe that those caps are the same kind as sold here in Scandinavia. I use one as collimating cap, and another is attached as a nose piece to a RPi camera. They fit very nicely in place of a 1.25" eyepiece.
