hi raymo,

I believe the goto is more accurate if you do another alignment (1, 2 or 3 star) after doing the polar alignment routine.

my understanding is the handset still will be working off your last two star alignment , so while mechanically the mount is in a better position the computer (handset) still thinks the stars are in a slightly different position - (goal posts shifted). it shouldn't cause that much trouble, especially if you've done an iterative PA routine, but it only takes a few seconds.
