Hi Patrick.

I am not really sure if the program makes any adjustment for the current star positions in terms of Epoch, it may very well do so. However thier are very smack changes over time to make any great effect. You could go to the Alignmaster website with your question.

Alignmaster with the expanded star list is using Epoch J2000 and most of us have been using that for some time without any problems. In the last couple of days I posted an updated list still using the original J2000 epoch. However I changed about 13 of the star names to more common names.

I often use my Ipad ans starwalk to find the alignment stars and had troubles finding the names Alignmaster used in Starwalk. So I spent a few hours changing the sterne file with star names that could be found in starwalk. This makes it a lot faster to find you alignment stars.


If you can't find my post and want the file I can post it again
