iOptron Mounts and iPolar

[515bonner]

In the instructions on use of the iPolar camera and iPolar software, it shows an initial set up with the mount pointed in 3 different positions

So in position one (on the left), is that configuration to the east or west of the polar axis? They never say which side of the polar axis to use first, nor say if these positions show looking at the front of the scope or from the rear. Or does it make a difference?

Have you sent iOptron a email about this?
It seems they are quite good at responding to things like this.
Good luck with the question

Hi Bonner - I have the iOptron iPolar on my CEM40 mount. It doesn't matter what order you take the images. It's just important that you take one image with the RA axis rotated to the left, one in approximate zero position, and one with the mount rotated to the right. The software will sort out which is which.
