I have been getting my new g11t mount out as often as possible and have had some success using it, but it isn’t consistent. The thing I am not sure about is the sequence of polar alignment and pointing accuracy procedures.?If I want to get a good polar alignment, for auto guiding, and have good pointing accuracy, what do I do first? If I am getting these sequences correct, then the pointing accuracy is a four star sequence, starting west for three stars then going east for the last star. Polar alignment is staying west for all four stars, with the last star giving me a PAC option to center the last star with alt/elevation knobs being used instead of the hand controller.?
Should I doing both procedures, one after the other? If I am doing both procedures, then which do I do first? Can I do the pointing accuracy thing first then go to a bright star and center it?
I have watched the videos a number of times and I have not put it all together yet.
