Now, right click on it (same place), to bring up the drop down menu. In there, you should see the option to "close loop slew". Click on that option and TSX will slew to that point, photograph it, plate solve that image, compare the pointing error, then take a second image and you should be within a few pixels of where you want to be.
Now, the Bit to watch out for is this. The BIN mode that is used in image link, whatever you have set that up to be, needs to be entered into the image link dialogue box (more like the image scale), otherwise image link will use the image scale of your plate solve for the image that you wanted to replicate the location of. To make it easier, I keep the image scales the same for image linking and the reference image.
Cheers
