Joe--

There's a very well illustrated procedure for mechanically aligning your
scope to improve pointing accuracy in the Mapug Topical Archive
available from the list's homepage at: <http://www.MAPUG.com/>.

Once you're at the Topical Archive, scroll down near the bottom left
column to LX200 Alignment Procedure... or to go direct:
<http://www.mapug.com/AstroDesigns/MAPUG/OTA_Alignment/OTA-1.html>

Plus there is a great deal of other information in the Topical Archive
to explore on alignment concerns.

BTW, it would be real helpful to include a subject line so that if a
discussion develops from your post, then the resulting thread has a
title. Good luck
