Polar Alignment
« on: Friday, 26.04.13 - 14:19:47 - CEST »
Hello Community,

since some weeks I´m a proud owner of al LFEP and I´m still learning to use all the features built in this controller. But now I stuck at the "Polar Align" as discribed in the online-manual (www.lfep.de). It should be found in the GOTO-Submenu, right after "Home Pos." But there ´s nothing to find. My controller runs FW 6.20

Can anyone tell me the way to this function?

Thanx in advance
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

because polar alignment did not work as expected, rajiva disabled this feature to review it.

Hi Rainer,

I'm not sure by which relase it was disabled but it was already disabled with FW 6.20.
There is no changelog, so I can only refer to rajivas post in the "old" Forum.

Hi Rainer,

you can also try EQAlign, it also works with ASCOM.
