Hello Hy,
Radek has just updated Astroberry to include KStars 3.5.2. so I have now been able to test out your new upgraded polar alignment with the right angle triangle of adjustment. Works very well - thank you for your intensive work on it! I have yet to try out your suggestion of using manual adjustment to turn the RA axis through 60° East in advance of the PA routine. This should compensate for the PA routine turning the RA axis through two 30° shifts to end up in the Park position where the right angle triangle will have horizontal and vertical sides and the hypotenuse should directly describe the adjustment vector. I am also yet to try PA elsewhere than at the NCP, not normally needed where I set up my equipment, but could have major benefits for a friend who lives in a bowl with no view of Polaris.
Thanks again, Ed
