Skywatcher Synscan Polar Alignment Routine
I’m interested to know how many members use the Synscan PA routine to Polar Align their Skywatcher mounts. I’ve been using this method for over 3 years with great results
Since progressing from a HEQ5 to an EQ6-R Mount my PA is taking less time with less iterations and with less error. I Last week I nailed my PA in 10 minutes with only one iteration and low error.
The EQ6-R mount is so much more responsive and accurate for PA than my HEQ5 in all conditions
I use BYEOS with my Canon 600D on live view with the PA align screen which has an illuminated reticle. I de focus the alignment Star into a donut for more accuracy.I bought a 2m curly cord for my hand controller so I can sit at my outdoor laptop weather proof workstation next to the mount and comfortably perform my PA
Comments and feedback welcome
