Hi,

I'm looking into getting a new mount to replace my old heq5.
one of the important criteria is a good (read conveniente) indi driver support.
reading the different mount driver documentation i have several states "mount must be firdt aligned" before connecting to the driver. That's the case for the celedtron CGE, Losmandy or ioptronv3 driver (and maybe others...)
Does that mean one needs to proceed to star alignment with the hand controler EVERYTIME the mount is put in place and turned on or just the very first time the mount is turned on?
Such a requirement doesn't exists with the eqmod driver and given i udually only shoot a single target each night i never proceed to star alignment and only rely on polar align + plate solving. Having to start align xith the HC would be a kind of regression if I had to do that for each session, even more problematic in nomad.
Any feedback from users of these drivers or clarification from knowledgeable people would be helpful

ThanksĀ
