Hi Russell
I use PHD 'drift align'. It works just fine.
I am only using the SynScan hand control for Initialisation and Alignment.
Hi Pete
Yes, the locking screws where only lightly applied.
I even used 'nickel anti seize' on all bolts.
In retrospect, I would treat initial polar align as a full nights work, or a job in itself, upon receiving a new mount.
Such that there is no pressure to begin imaging.
I could even consider removing the main scope to reduce weight, leaving only the guide scope in place during this process.
