Subject: Quick question about alignment

For solid, accurate tracking, how dependent is Astro IIDC on good

polar alignment of the mount?

I had one excellent night of tracking several weeks ago - I was easily

able to get 10 minute exposures with barely a hiccup. But since then,

I've had some trouble with getting my mount dead-on as far as polar

alignment. And since then, I've not been able to get Astro IIDC to

reliably track at all.

I'm sure I've answered my own question, but I guess I'm looking for

some verification.
