Example of a DEC calibration with RA:
We calibrate with RA
Example of the first measurement:

NOTES:
 Don't forget that You must not flip the mount during a full alignment
procedure with the same DEC direction calibrated. If You change from an
eastern star to a western one for example and do a flip, a new calibration has to
be done before measuring. Else the opposite error direction will be displayed.
 Don't forget to have the proper focal length value entered on Guiding / Guider
setup screen. This is essential to calculate the right misaligment value.
 The more time is used for measuring, the more accurate (noiseless) is the result.
Some arcminutes polar misalignment may only be measured in 'a lot' of
minutes. Precise result needs patience.
 Calibration vector and Pole is saved as profile variable. Others has to be set as
they change time by time.
