Syncing on a star will shift the mount model to the
star position . It will improve GoTo pointing in the
region of sky close to the star you synced on . Sync
can also be used if the mount was bumped or the
clutches were loosened for either axis . Sync will
restore the position of the StarSense GoTo without
using the camera .

POLAR ALIGN

This feature aligns the mount through the hand
controller, using any of the named stars in its
database, essentially eliminating the need for a
polar axis finder . Polar Align is use for Equatorial
mounts, or wedge-mounted Altazimuth mounts
only . Polar Align must be performed after a
StarSense Auto or StarSense Manual Align . We
recommend you also add multiple Cal Reference
points to improve the mount model, thereby
improving the polar alignment when adjustments
are made to the mount .
