I agree Martin,
I see all the threads on here about PA woes & often wonder 'Why don't you just use the PA routine on your handset'.
I've been using the Celestron version on my CG5 & achieving as low as 2 Arc seconds of error after only two iterations...
I now own an AZEQ6 & whilst it's now a two step mechanical process, it looks just as easy as the Celestron routine & pretty much what I plan to use until such time as I get my RPi/Stellarmate/EQMod/Camera's connection & integration going & then, I'll see what I do to achieve PA... only because I'm not sure how it all fits together yet...
I really don't see what all the issues with PA are that people have... biggest challenge I ever have is being careful enough with the initial setup/line up Nth/Sth of my tripod..
Hemi, I'm with you in my experience with the Celestron routine however, someone explained to me the other day, if you were by chance using a PA star close to zenith; it would be hard to discern whether it was altitude or azimuth you need to adjust... Not that I plan to use a star near zenith for PA but, it gave me pause for thought over the way Synscan approach it...
Cheers
