Thanks Peter

I was fiddling with my PA and so doing a modest TPoint run, adjusting PA and then starting again.

My plate solve problem was trying to plate solve without a model and without first syncing. TSX wouldn't plate solve as it had no RA and Dec to work with in the FITS header. What complicated things was that if I connected Maxim to TSX and took a photo - without first syncing - Maxim would plate solve as it would take the RA and Dec from TSX anyway. Then when I had plate solved in Maxim, Maxim would add the RA and Dec to the FITS header and TSX would then plate solve. It drove me round the bend working out why some images woudl solve and others didn't.
