I haven't had my AVX mount for a couple of years but I do remember that I needed to do an align before I could use Ekos. There was a discussion 3 years back about an AVX doing weird things which I replied to... www.indilib.org/forum/mounts/7156-mount-...-me/55522.html#55522

In any case the comment in my reply helped me remember the steps I used with my AVX, I set it up roughly polar aligned then when powering up I did a Quick Align. That skipped having to do star alignments with an eyepiece and allowed the mount to think it was aligned. Then I did a polar alignment with the polar alignment tool. Once that is done using Kstars/Ekos I could pick a couple of stars to goto then use the alignment tool with sync to mount.

About picking your camera. The latest version uses Optical Trains. There a drop down at the top of the Alignment tool to pick your optical train. You can also edit your optical trains by clicking on the pencil icon next to the drop down.
