Can it be done in Polar?
      #2562614 - 08/05/08 08:01 PM

I was wondering if I can perform drive training, sensor cals, backlash, and PEC training in polar mode. I have a LX200R on a Mitty wedge. HBx v4.2g.
I have the scope well aligned at the moment and would rather do everything in polar if possible.

Cheers!

PEC is really only a help in polar even though the option is there in alt az

drive training yes but I think you have to turn tracking off by selecting objects: terrestrial

If "sensors" is the level north thing, then that is not needed for polar anyway.
