If you are using the Sky6, regardless of which options you select it blocks syncs (mostly likely to protect any underlying Tpoint model).

Secondly Tpoint only allows slews to an incorrectly object if you can do a sync first; there is no option to re-slew to target once it has calculated the pointing offset without issuing a sync first. The authors of AT say this option is a bit complex and "may" be available next year.

Finally if you know what you imaging scale is - speed thing up by 1) always having about 20-50 bright enough stars in the imaging, 2) setting tight limits around your imaging scale - say < +/- 5% of your real scale and selecting it to search no farther than +/- 20 degrees from reported RA / DEC.

Lastly putting the image database on a SSD seems to help alot!
