Tell the mount you are in polar unaligned mode, goto three well dispersed stars – centre them well and press align and you wake a very intelligent beast. I did three to five minute unguided shots in this fashion (without PEC enabled) and got shots with very round stars – when I was initially 2-3 degrees off the SCP. The scope adjusts and runs both motors to counter for polar misalignment and the airs refractive index at any given elevation – wow! The tracking rate also accommodates object with different orbital rates to stars – planets, comets, satellites or the Moon – sophisticated!
