I have found some discussions on this but am still having trouble conceptualizing it. I understand how to determine the E-W line, but how do you determine the N-S line? I primarily use an SCT on a german equatorial mount but sometimes I use a refractor--would this change things? Many thanks!! -Paul

In a refractor or SCT, North is clockwise from West.
In a reflector, counter clockwise.
In a reflector, counter clockwise.
Zambuto dobs: 14.5" Starmaster and 8" Portaball
Refractors are ok too, sometimes.
