What is a 27 star TPAS run? I understand it's an Argo Navis feature, but I haven't read that section of the manual 
BTW, totally off topic, but I found you on BGG the other day via an astronomy microbadge! |
Dude,
You found me on BGG, Great!! It was games night last night...El Grande!!
TPAS enhances the pointing of the Argo. Nice feature, a little daunting to begin with but now I am getting pretty good at it. While the sky is getting dark, I just run through a series of stars now fainter than 3rd Mag and run a model on it. Bingo. Exceptionally good pointing.
I use Astroplanner, Skymap Pro v11 and Skytools to generate some lists. Checkout my website for some monthly lists of good objects.
Cheers.
