Ps:

Hi: Well the drift I did was using the Star-Targ 2_0 program

(reticle program) and followed the directions and overlayed it over

my CCD program (CCDSoft) using my ST-2000XCM CCD camera. But

even though I followed this, like you say I think the alignment is still off.

You know one knob for azimuth and another for altitude. And followed it.

But the observatory building I'm in has a bit higher walls (sort of needed to

allow the roof to roll shut) so I'm not ever able to look as low to the horizon

for my star in the east / or west. Thank you for your help!
