Change From Bin 2 for polar aligning?

Mr_Cellophane

Hi folks. Is there any way to change the Polar Alignment bin? It's set and locked to using Bin2. I added a barlow lens to my telescope and I'm having a LOT of trouble focusing and polar aligning. I was able to focus but only using Bin 1,.. but I then try to do a Polar Align, but it's set to only using Bin2. Does this even matter and if so how can I cahange it?

Mr_Cellophane how about polar alignment without Barlow. Then add Barlow afterwards

In asiair 2.1, PA will use bin1 like preview, please try 2.1.

Mr_Cellophane

Thank you! but how can I forcethe update? Right now I'm still using Version 1.92. Can I force it to update to 2.1?

Mr_Cellophane

Eriktim82 uhh I don't think so, If I so much as blow on the telescope after the PA is done.. it throws off the entire PA. So no way can I swap loosen the camera, add in a barlow and then retighten everything and still expect it to have any sort of accurate PA

Mr_Cellophane please explain your reasoning. Once you're mount is pa It polar aligned unless you adjust or move mount.
