Takahashi altitude alignment

Today the altitude of het mount was measured with an angle measuring device. It showed that the mount is at 48 degrees now, so it must be moved back to where it was. This is very arkward because I must have passed the correct altitude alignment point.
We will first set the mount with the measuring device back to the desired setting for Heesch and use that as a starting point.

Hi Patrick,

From this way I just want to say thanks a lot for your kindness to do this job at Observatory Halley. With your help we will be able in the near future to do astrophotography with one of the best instruments in The Netherlands! Now we've spent two evenenings there and I saw how you won't give up if there are some difficulties. So I think you're gonna make it!
