You might well be right - I've never kept star alignment because I've been packing up my scope/mount after every session. However, this passage is straight from my SynScan manual:
The result for the star alignments and PAE is stored in the hand control even after the power has been shut off. You will only need to perform the star alignment once as long as these two criteria are met: 1 The telescope is moved to its home position (Park the telescope) before turning off the power. 2. The telescope setup. including the mount, has not been moved.
I think I remember reading about other members' experiences with pier-mounted EQ6s where they don't have to re-align the mount every session. Perhaps callingrohit could try it and let us know?
