Before the PA routine you will have to set your tripod to face true celestial south , then set your mount head to home position , then balance your mount , then polar align ( I have written instructions for all these procedures)
I have all the written procedures ( my way is old school but it works every time , no iPhone apps or software programs etc.. that can come later ...,
Let me know if your hand controller has the PA routine , it’s in Menu > Set Up > Alignment > Polar Alignment
