Hi Gary, I haven't used my CPC in Eq mode but I'll try to help. For a start I assume you've set the tracking mode to Equatorial South; then you've done an Equatorial Two-Star align alignment (or Eq Autoalign).

Now you're trying to finely adjust the wedge to be polar aligned. Press 'Align', then 'polar align' then 'align mount', as per the instructions for All Star Polar Alignment (ASPA) on page 21 of the manual.

They seem to use 'align mount' and 'align wedge' interchangeably in the manual.

If you've got an older scope you'll need to update the firmware to the most recent version since the ASPA has only been working for the southern hemisphere for a year or so.

Most imagers use an equatorial mount rather than a wedge mounted fork, so you might get more replies over on cloudynights forum.
