level pole
up until the last blast of gales i was tracking all sats between 28e and 30 w no problems,on 1.1 triax polar mount.The problem is now after readjusting everything i have a problem with sats west of thor can just about get 8 w ,but no 7 w 15 w or 30 w.Having spent 2 hrs on the roof today can not seem to get anywhere,however just before it got dark i noticed the pole was not exactly straight up accoding to spiritlevel,it is only a small amount 1/4 inch maybe 1/8.So my question is before i start all over again with all the great tutorials can that small amount throw it off the arc on one side so as to miss west sats.Thanks as always for any input.
