No prob Leo
The Synscan polar alignment routine is probably one of the least known methods of Polar aligning in Astronomy. Skywatcher never advertise that it’s included in every AzAlt and EQ mount in their Goto range.

I think Dylan O’Donnell from StarStuff did a video on it last year

The up and right button sequence just minimises backlash which aids in accurate Star centering.

2 star alignment is more than satisfactory , no need for a 3 star alignment

This PA feature on Synscan has been around for more than 15 years

Cheers
