In simple language - as I understand it - do a 2-star alignment just using the buttons on the controller and the Synscan instructions. After you have done this, go to utilities and do a polar alignment and with this procedure, you tweak the T-bar altitude screws and the azimuth bolts as prompted. Then switch off, and then do a 2-star align again. Sometimes I repeat these procedures 2 or 3 times, but after that, the scope seems to be spot-on.
