levelling the mount

[sshenke]

hello, does anyone know how to ensure that the cross hairs in the reticule of the polar scope are level, ie, zero pointing exactly to the north and the 3 to 9 line lying parallel to the ground?  Thanks in advance. 

i am using a HEQ5 pro mount

I would recommend setting up in daylight and point to something you know is vertical i.e. the side of a house.  Line up your polar scope with it and take note where your arrow marks are pointing.  Or you can mark it with a sticker or something like that.
