Telescope Setup with an Alt/Az Mount on a Wedge If you are using an Alt/Az mount with an equatorial wedge, the optical tube must be at the altitude index mark pointing south if you are in the Northern Hemisphere. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, your optical tube should be at the index mark pointing north. Be sure you have the mount roughly polar aligned before starting an alignment in CPWI.
