be given a big Dob but not know initially what's its pointing performance
is like. A short TPAS run and putting in place a quick model is often all
that is needed to keep delivering objects on demand all night.

Hi Gary,

Out of curiosity does TPAS help improve the servocat tracking, or does it only help with slewing to the object?
