The warm start is all that is needed for it to be aligned.
Hi Barry,

If you have a permanent setup and you did NOT move by hand the mounts RA and DEC axis you should ALWAYS use Warm Restart and NOT Warm Start.

Warm Start is used after you loosened the clutches and made something manually at both axis !

A Warm Start with Gemini requires as CONDITION that the Counter Weight Shaft is in vertical position and the Telescope is pointing South in your case !

If you do a Warm Start in ANY other position you will shift the whole alignment model as well as your LIMITS !
