Something to check.

Also if you changed the configuration of your scope/imaging train the flex may be different and t-point will need to either be redone or resynched. I was finding mine was off after putting a different camera on the scope. I would resynch it would be fine for the night then next use back to square one and I had to resync. I saved the synced T-point model and I load that once TSX is booted up and its all good.

Good suggestions Greg

The mount is in the iTelescope shed. There is some serious concrete under this mount. I don't think there is any flex there.

The new T Point should be the goods - if its not, it will be interesting to see the pointing error.
