G-11 and Cassegrain Collimation

I'm working on Collimating a Cassegrain. I use an artificial star set up about 200 feet away from my scope. Great set-up, but the only problem is my G-11 tracking moves the artificial star out of the field of view so quickly.

I need to keep the mount "on" while I'm collimating so that I can return the Artificial star to the center of the eyepiece after each adjustment.

The question is: is there a way to keep the Mount "on" so that I can manually slew the Artificial star back to center, and at the same time have the tracking disinguaged?

Thanks,

Steve

Steve,
I have a C-14/G-11 combo. I set my mount up facing E, do not turn the motors on, and put the scope on Polaris. I collimate off Polaris and center the star manually. Works fine for me.

Hope this helps.
