The release of the latest version of the Seestar App adds a new level of capability to the Seestar when mounted in the EQ mode. The Polar Alignment routine in the App with its straight forward feedback on altitude and azimuth deviations is extremely easy to use. And, those on balconies not withstanding, the fact that the App plate solves at three locations near the zenith to get the PA offset means that one does not have to have a direct view of the north celestial pole. However, one thing that is very confusing to many people, especially those brand new to astronomy, is the fact that, unlike a typical telescope setup on an EQ mount, the altitude angle of the wedge needs to be set to the complimentary angle to the latitude, not the latitude itself. I put together a video demonstrating why this is the case followed by a live demonstration of the PA process and subsequent live stacking examples to show that we can now get stacking success rates of 100% with ease. You can find the video here https://www.youtube....h?v=MPuwhBSJr9w I hope it helps folks avoid the confusion that can come with the opposite way the wedge is set up from a typical telescope.
