Well I never!
For me, when I run PAE, it asks to centre on a star, say Achernar. Fine, off it goes. I centre, and press enter, and all it does it revert to the first screen of the PAE. In other words, it does NOTHING.
I have run the pAE before with 3.33 etc, so know what I am doing, but for some reason, it just is not working on mine. So, I just do the "Lewis Drift Align" - I use 3.28B21. I do a 2 star align, and I observe the MEL/MAZ readout after a successful alignment. I then adjust the mount "by eye" in az and el, and redo the alignment using the same stars. I then do this for several iterations until I am under at least the minute of error (0*00'XX") for both axes. I then check it again as a goto assignment, and if it nails it (which it usually does), I will then slew to a globular or similar and see if it nails that.
I will then run the mount in sidereal for 20 minutes with PHD "live view" on and watch in the autoguider. If the star does not stray (NO GUIDING, just watching with gridlines on), I will then start my imaging for the night
