You didn't say if your mount has the goto option. If so I can't help. If not, leveling the tripod only makes the polar more logical. The mount only cares that the r.a. axis is aimed at the pole.
I'll second that. I don't know that I've ever taken much time to level the tripod. I typically just set the wedge and telescope (C-5 or C-8) on the tripod and use a polar finder scope to point the polar axis at the pole. Quick, easy and it works. Patrick
