Rick,

That should be easy to remember as the HC requests go to 'switch' as its first command on power up. I will make a sticky note and place it on my laptop now :)

My normal setup procedure (I travel to dark sites, no observatory) is power on the HC/Mount then set the 'switch', power down. After that Polar Align using the PoleMaster. Then I power the mount back up, set 'switch' on the HC, followed by the alignment using the HC. Without the HC I should place the 'Align' button on the INDI Control Panel before and after polar alignment routine? Or will this create issues with the connection via software?

Thanks

Jim
