Hi Ray and astro-friends,

Tonight, I will be polar aligning my second scope (not an AP mount ;) by using PEMPRO.

Since the mount has dual-axis absolute encoders, would you recommend to turn off the dual-axis tracking while fine-tuning the polar alignment ? I read once that you better off to turn it off but I can't find anymore the source ;(

Sorry for the silly question and thank you once again for your super kind help.

Regards,
Aygen

Aygen,

Yes, leave the encoders on, but turn off dual-axis tracking if there is a model loaded for your mount.

Thank you Ray.

Got it ! So, if there is still no model loaded in the mount it does not matter if the dual axis is on, right ? Or would you recommend to tie it off anyway and have it on afterwards ?

Hi  Aygen 

I think the point is leave encoders on, but don't have any modeling active when you do polar alignment

what mount is this?
