And for my Tak NJP it is similar. Turn the power on. Unpark the scope. slew to any star- usually within 20 arcmins. Take an image and platesolve to fine tune the pointing then slew anywhere.
Fine balancing is impossible due to the odd shaped spectrograph hanging off the end of the scope. Doesn't seem to matter though. The motors are powerful enough to cope.
