Home Find Icon missing in Autoslew

[Taqwa Space Observatory]

Greetings everyone. This  is Moiz Ahmed from Taqwa Space Observatory, Balochistan. Pakistan.
I am facing a very big issue since few days and i am not able to find any solution. I am not able to polar align or specifically define a home position because the Home Find icon is missing from my Auto Slew Software. I am attaching two pictures to show the difference. The missing icon one is mine. I have DDM-85 A mount. Any quick help will be highly appreciated. 
Thank you

Hello Moiz,

I have no idea why you do not see the icon for homefind. But you should be able to do a homefind by clicking on the menue "mount" and then on the option "Home Find".

Or is that option also not available?

Best regards,

Robert

Hi Moiz,

The homefind icon is missing because you have a DDM 85A, which has absolute encoders. With absolute encoders you do not need to do a homefind.

Make sure you have the Autoslew Software Manual for Mounts with Absolute Encoders. If you follow those instructions carefully you should be OK.

Regards,

Mark

Thank you so much @MarkS and @robertp. Mark you have pointed out the right issue. I will try to do polar alignment with the help of the correct manual tonight. Just need another favour that if anyone of you have the manual of DDM 85 A mount ( not autoslew) then could you please send me that?
Thank you
