Editing Polar Alignment (section)

=== Handset routines ===
----Many modern mounts have a polar alignment routine built into the handset. Celestron use ASPA (all-star polar align) and Skywatcher use a polar align based on the corrections made while 3-star aligning for GOTO function.

To get into the Skywatcher polar alignment set up your mount as normal. Go through the 3-star GOTO alignment procedure, then go back into the alignment menu and a "Polar align" option should have appeared at the bottom. Follow the instructions displayed on the handset, then do another 3-star alignment to get the mount's GOTO accuracy back. You can repeat the polar align function as well to improve the accuracy. This is one of the easier ways to align and can be completed accurately in around 5 minutes.

The Celestron ASPA routine is [http://www.celestron.com/university/astroimaging/all-star-polar-alignment explained here on the Celestron website].
