DWARF calibration

Run EQ calibration

The telescope solves the sky at multiple mount positions and returns the polar-axis error. Keep the tripod fixed while it runs.

Connect your DWARF to start calibration.
1Place the mountLevel the tripod and point the polar axis approximately north or south.
2Run calibrationLet the DWARF move and plate-solve without touching the mount.
3Adjust and verifyApply the reported corrections and run the solve again.

Optional visual check

Telephoto preview

Use the live view to confirm clear sky and unobstructed movement. The EQ solve—not the camera crosshair—measures alignment.

No external sensor required
