Good day folks,,,
I am having a little bit of a problem setting up the mount,,,,,
My location beeing latitude 46.9 and 71.19 longitude,,,,,
I set my coarse latitude on the mount as per pic # 1 exactly at 46.9 degrees no problem,,,,
As for latitude declination,,there lies my problem,,,,,I understand that the declination I have to apply is 7 degrees,,,therefore 90 - 46.9 = 43.1 // - 7 degrees declination = 36.1 degrees as indicated in pic # 2,,,,,but when I check the elevation on my mount with the protractor or the inclinometer,,,it gives me 42 degrees ?????
Even if i run it all the way to the end of the box as per pic # 3 it gives me 40 degrees elevation ????
Yr input wld be appreciated
