Hi all,

The PAA routine suggests to put the mount in home position and point to the ncp OR any point in the meridian. A couple of questions about this. How do I perform the slews, specially if I want to point to any position in the meridian? Manually or with gotos? If the latter, do I need to align the mount previously? My assumption is, in fact, that I need to align and slew the mount with ekos, to let the solver know where is pointing to approximately. Otherwise, the solver may fail due to the huge difference between the real and supposed coordinates. Tonight, in fact, I've suffered many "solver failed" while trying to polar align, but I'm not sure if it's been due to this.
