What a superb product, given I predominately image, to be able to align on the nearest bright star, then slew straight to my intended target and having the object plop straight into the middle half of the chip is sensational......

Marvelous product.
Hi Clive,

Thanks for the post and great to hear!

After a few more sessions, or any time at your lesiure, we would be happy to
assist you with some more background on TPAS as well. The User Manual
starting on page 115 has a section called SETUP MNT ERRORS that
has a discussion of this advanced feature.

The method you are currently using of simply re-aligning on a bright nearby
star is also a strategy that many users simply do.

Sounds like you had better luck with the weather than most of the rest of the
East Coast.

Thanks again for the post and enjoy!

Best Regards
