Hi guys. After many many many attempts and tweaks I found it impossible to get perfect goto's everytime. Sometimes I do, sometimes I do not. I am now down to about 4.5 arc minutes of accuracy.
So to put my objects on my CCD chip I devised a simple spreadsheet that allows me to "compensate" for this error. By typing some coorindates into this spreadsheet I can now slew and centre any object onto my CCD chip.
I use autostar suite with my LX200 gps 10".
Comments welcome on the attached spreadsheet. Hope others find this useful.
