Polar Alignment with a Celestron CVX Mount

awhitson

After a successful plate solve my next step is to have the RA at 60 degrees. However, nothing happens. I get a message that the the RA angle is 0.0 and no option other than CANCEL. If I manually move the RA to 60 degrees there is no response from the ASIAir and I can't PA my mount. Any thoughts or observations, please?

If you want to manually move the mount RA axis by the 60 degree angle, you have to first tell ASIAIR that there is no mount connected in the Telescope Setup window.

Then go to Polar Alignment window and follow the instructions there (it will tell you when to move the 60 degrees).

After polar alignment is complete, Home your mount, reboot the mount's electronics, star align the mount, and then connect ASIAIR Telescope back to the mount.
