Thanks Dunk. I'm using version 3.27 (from memory). I've just looked at a youtube clip that says the alignment can be improved by centering another named star (
after 2- or 3-star alignment) and pressing the esc key twice (second time for 2 seconds) which then improves tracking accuracy.
BTW, what do you mean by IIRC?
