Hmmm,
My process was
1) Put axes markers in start position
2) Power on
3) Abort alignment by pressing menu
4) Read axis position in Utilities menu
5) Adjust scope using RA and DEC until ALt and AZ both read 0 00 00
6) Unlock clutch and manually move scope back on alignment marks
7) Not sure if I powered down or not
8) Start alignment - setting time and date
Three stars latter all is well and no motor housing clunks whilst operating
9) Slew back to alignment marks at end of night
10) Read Alt and AZ - now 90 00 00 and 90 00 00 (I expected 0 and 0)
11) Hibernate and power down.
Perhaps the Dec should be 90 at start up but the alignment marks should be 90 degrees further around?
