Celestron Mount Sync Function

Celestron Mount Sync Function was created by Alan Creutz

When I connect my Celestron mount to Kstars (on Astroberry or on MAC), it connects but the SYNC button does not display. Only the Track and Slew buttons appear. The track feature does not appear in the drop down list when right-clicking on the planetarium map; and the red sync scope to target button does not function,
What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, its the SYNC feature that does not appear in the drop-down list.

Why not use the alignment module in Ekos? Set the solver action to sync, then hit capture and solve. That should update the mount from wherever it thought it was pointing to where it actually is, based on what the camera sees.
