Calibrate Home Position feature instructions?

cengell

Hello, love my AM5 mount and when I used the hand control unit to be in the home position the Dovetail head is not parallel to the mount body as its a bit off? I would think it would need to be, as every other mount I have is that way I can get the mount Polar aligned? Can someone please provide how to get it set using the "Calibrate Home Position feature".
Once I have the mount perfectly level I will use a bubble level to get the mount 90 & 0. I think that's right so it perfectly adjusted for Polar alignment. Any videos and a step by step would really be appreciated.. I know this feature resets the Dovetail plate but I want to be 100% sure that I do it correctly.Thank you I advance.

cengell You can download ASI Mount app from the app store and open AM5 setting page, you will see calibration button aside to the Go Home button.

@ASIMount@ZWO#59292 Done that, but what are the instructions doing a Calibration? Why nothing really listed in ver 1 of the user manual? Is there a mechanical switch that lets the mount know when it Home position? Or is the Calibration feature just sets the Dec to a position and when done it then knows that position forever?

Thanks

It's a new feature since v1.1 and you can refer to the instructions on the app.
The mount will remember the new home position after your calibration.
