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!
