Just a question:

when I'm doing the polar alignment with the AM5 using the ASI AIR plus, using the All Sky procedure, I noted that the AM5 is not tracking. 

I was thinking that after the third picture and after plate solved the mount should track?! Something not correct? If I goes into the mount setting the tracking is off and if im turning on it will automatically switch off..

Someone else has the same? 

Thanks and CS

In the even you have not seen them, I  really like Peter's tutorials.

I've never tried "All Sky PA" but I may give it a shot.

Good luck !
