Hi fellow forum members. My 1st post, so go easy on me...
I have done the Polaris alignment on my (new to me) EQ-5 motorized mount. But when I then use the GOTO feature on the Synscan controller (either the wired or the wireless version) I can't get my telescope or my digital camera to point to whichever object I have selected to go to. It is always pointing somewhere else. But when I select to put the mount back in the parked position it correctly goes back to that position.
The only way I stand a chance of getting the mount to correctly go to a selected object is to do a two or three star alignment, which takes a lot more time than alignment using Polaris.My question is, what might I be doing wrong? Am I accidentally skipping a process?

Yes of course, I meant polar alignment.
I guessed that I would have to do a two or three star alignment on top of the polar alignment, but needed to confirm.
