[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1124107, member: 178786"] [USER=198478]@Chr0nik[/USER] When you previously removed the polar mount from the pole did you make a note of what satellite it was aimed at just before removal? If the polar mount was previously tracking the arc OK then it suggests the declination and elevation angles were set correctly. Unless you have changed these angles, placing the mount back on the pole and manually rotating the entire polar mount assembly on the pole to receive the last satellite used before dismantling should restore the arc you had before. The main point to be respected is that when the polar mount is centred and aiming highest it should be aiming very close to the zenith satellite for your location. For example, I am about 0.2 degrees West of the Grenwich Meridian. I use Thor 7 at 0.67 West as the zenith referential satellite and rotate the polar mount on the pole to that. If it comes to resetting your angles, they are easily obtained from online calculators using your latitude and longitude as input parameters. [/QUOTE]
