I would imagine in your case the workflow would look like this:

Connect to the mount using INDI, click the Align button.
Disconnect the mount from INDI, power down the mount.
Go through the polar align with polemaster.
Power it back on, connect using INDI, click the Align button again.
Do your normal imaging session. :)

On a side note, I would recommend trying out the polar align process in Ekos. It worked really well last night for me using this driver. That workflow would look like this:

Connect to the mount using INDI, click the Align button.
Using the Alignment tab in Ekos, do a polar alignment.
Click the Align button again.
Do your normal imaging session. :)


I will try it using both. I am kinda partial to the PoleMaster as it cost me a pretty penny and I got the unit as I am not a big fan of the Celestron all star alignment routine or the polar scope as a 'side' mounted scope on the CGX.
