would it be possible when using polar align to have a E or W button when you get to the stage where you have to move mount 90 degrees just so things are more automated .

Hi
Not sure what you are using to control the mount but if you are using EQMOD just create a second park position which is what I have done. So I start Polar align then when it asks to move the mount I just tell EQMOD to park to the second position which in my case I have called polar align.

Cheers

Hi,

I'd suggest just using the East and West buttons in the normal mount control area (in the controls on the right-hand side), since they will be there anyway if you have connected SharpCap to your mount.

Cheers, Robin
