Any tips on getting this alignment performed as speedily as possible?

If like me you because of restriction of size in your garden and you always
set it up in the same place then paint or use some kind of marker (mine
happens to be the drain pipe) for True North. Have your latitude set ready
on your mount and the hr, min sec for polaris ready set on your RA setting
circle. Its then just a matter of putting it out in the garden aligning the
mount with your marker ajusting the dec to 89deg and finding Polaris in your
finderscope, you've then calibrated and aligned your scope in one go.

I'm new to this myself so if i'm doing something wrong let me know but it
seems to work for me.

Hope this helps

Hello, I'm having a few difficulties aligning my telescope (a little TAL
equatorial reflector, on the post mount). I have to bring the scope
inside when it's not in use, so I need to realign it every night.

Any tips on getting this alignment performed as speedily as possible?
What kind of accuracy could I expect from the available methods, and how
would this trade off against the time taken to do it?

My least restricted view is of the north where I can almost see the
horizon, I am obstructed up to about 30 degrees altitide in other
directions.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
