Yup very happy with the program. Looks like I need to re drift align abit or maybe change the grease in the mount or both though.

The images:
#1 as previously mentioned the initial power up and goto Jup.
#2 after Kaus Australis was used as a 1 star align target.
#3 a meridian flip was needed to goto M5.... not so good.
#4 back east of the meridian to NGC7099 not so much error, but too much
#5 return to Kaus Australis, showing a loss of position probably due to stiffness in the mount.
A check of the pier showed that it has shifted a tad from level, so once I re level it and free the glue in the mount I should be running on target again.
It will be interesting to hear from others that are using this nifty little utility.

cheers,
Doug
