I couldn't get the guider to calibrate because of the polar alignment error so not sure how much use that feature is if you are not quite close to start with.
Any PHD2 users want to tell me what I am doing wrong there?

If you usually use alignmaster with another scope there is nothing stopping you doing your polar alignment with that and then swapping for the RC. I have no finder on my tv scope and use alignmaster
