Star adventurer polar scope

[Victor Boesen]

Yesterday I was out testing my new star adventurer to see if the tracking works, ands it does. However I have one question about the polar scope.

From what I have read, the number 6, always has to be in the bottom of the circle. When my RA is at 0 degrees, the 6 is not at the bottom, but approx. 30 degrees to the right.

I could turn the RA to make the 6 be at the bottom of the scope and the align, but does it make any difference in PA?

Makes no difference. The only purpose of the polarscope is to get the initial mount alignment correct.
