EQMOD align tool not going to correct position.

[WillG]

I've recently bought an upgrade laptop and after a lot of faff managed to get it working, and controlling my EQ6 mount. 

The only problem is, when I use EQMOD to align, it moves the mount but not to the correct position. On the software I can see where the little Polaris circle within the larger circle should be positioned, but when the mount moves, it doesn't go to that position. Is this simply the aligner scope card (the bit you can remove and has the graphics of Polaris etc printed on it) not being in the correct orientation? 

It still works correctly with my old laptop, so it just a matter of totally forgetting about my old one, aligning with my new one and moving the alignment card to the position is should be, and then it will work? 

Sorry if I haven't explained myself very well, it's hard to do. Unfortunately I don't think pictures would be possible either, please ask if you would like me to re-expplain anything. 

Thanks

Well if the old laptop is right to mount and eqmod ,its got to be something in the new laptop ,no good trying to move the graphics of Polaris.

Ok so should I start over again with the set up? I remember having to rotate so the little circle is pointing downwards for some reason, I'm re-watching some youtube videos on the initial setup. Hopefully that will help because I really didn't want to be moving the graphic around. I would have to get it central again, and that takes ages

I take it as you doing the setup from the video of Eqmod Polaris setup.

This may have something to do with EQMOD, clock position. 

The drop down on EQmod will say, 12 or 9 or 6 or 3.

Try change these to see effect as I often use 6 instead of 12.

That right if Polaris transit is let say 5 pm you set clock position 6 when seting up .

That's it! I changed is to 12 from 3 and it worked. Thank you is there a way of setting that as default? Because whenever I reopen it or even tell it to park, it resets to 3.

Sorry can not help on default.

EDIT POST I can not see how you can have default ,as Polaris transit is not the same every day is it  , if so why have a clock.

This document might help you. I found it really useful.
