Sky safari pro and Ioptron 120

Posted By Anthony Zeitouni

Hi, I have successfully aligned several times by ioptron 120 Mount. Using the hand controller I have excellent and precise goto. However, when I connect to my SkySafari Pro on my iPhone deposition of the sky, safari crosshairs is several degrees away from the target That telescope is actually pointed to. When I do goto with the sky safari the target is not in the eyepiece. I can do Aline but that only works for a small part of the sky around where I did the Aline on. 
What can I do to make sure Sky Safari works better with my mount?

What can I do to make sure Sky Safari works more accurately with my mount?
