I have a 10" LX200R on a wedge atm and I'd really like not to have to do the polar alignment routine each time I start up (have you ever tried to look through a reticle without a star diagonal in place
). I tried the Park Scope option and when I turned the scope back on it tried to wind itself through it's Dec limit.
I obviously did something wrong somewhere. But do I need to use Park Scope? Can I use Sleep Scope instead?
I want to be able to shut the scope down and then start up again, do a quick sync on a star and be off and running. Unfortunately the Manual is next to useless in describing how or when to best use each option. If I use Sleep scope and come back in say 12 hours and reactivate the scope, will it try to slew itself through the pier in an attempt to realign on it's previous location?
Any help would be great.
