Dick, All, This has to do more with your screen resolution and aspect ration that you are running CdC in on your PC. You can get the az grid to line up by resizing the window or changing fov. It seems to change when your vertical to horizontal is 0.625:1 I don't use the Alt/Az grid very much so I had never noticed this. Anyway in ver. 3 the az grid lines up with the cardinal points at just about any display ratio.
