Could you please tell me how to align such a mount using Polaris?

Using the AsiAir Mini, there is a dedicated tab for polar alignment with Polaris.

Good day. I wanted to clarify: I have a 200/800 telescope, and with everything assembled, it weighs about 12-13 kg. Will it be able to handle that?

It can handle up to 13 kg, even without counterweights. With counterweights, the whole system will be more stable, of course.

How do you like this coma corrector? Also, what's your overall opinion on the Juwei17? There aren't many reviews in Russia, and I'm personally waiting for this mount.

The corrector seems pretty good; I've taken all my photos with reflectors using it, so I don't have anything else to compare it to. The Juwei-17 is an excellent piece of equipment—it provides guiding for a fully loaded 200mm Newtonian within 0.5–0.7, as long as there's no wind.

Thanks! By the way, do you run your setup on it with a counterweight or just the bar?

Mainly just with the bar. Tried with a counterweight, didn't notice much difference. It's mostly needed to keep the setup from tipping over.
