Hi Luka,

You do not need to re-calibrate after doing the drift alignment.

If your chosen target is a long way from the meridian (or DEC=0) then you should re-calibrate.

However if you're using the ASCOM driver for the mount it will report the change in DEC to PHD and a re-calibration is not necessary.

Also if you do a meridian flip you will need to reverse the DEC settings in the mount tab. The ASCOM driver should report which side of the pier the scope is and then its automatic. Or just do another re-calibrate for peace of mind, which is what I do.

To re-calibrate press the shift key on the keyboard while you click the guide button.

Cheers
Bill
