Hi Kosh,
Thanks for that info. How do you know how much to adjust the alt/az knobs given that the setting circles don't have the precision to do this to that degree of accuracy?
Last weekend I used the esc button to correct centering on a defined object, but it did not seem to make a difference to subsequent accuracy. As Steffen says below, the software isn't able to extrapolate this correction to the whole sky as the Synscan algorithm divides the sky into different regions (I think thats what Steffen means).
I'm curious how this centering correction differs from Polar ALignment Error function too. If anyone can enlighten me, I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Luke

You dont use your controller to make adjustments, only the altitude and azimuth knobs on the mount. You shouldn't be too far away to begin with.
Far as I can tell, PAE is a Different function.
