I am jumping around feeling "over the moon" today!!
had a huge win with my automation this morning before work
For a long time (probably ever) I have had pointing error troubles where objects are not centred. Plate solve sometime has solved it but not recently when I have been using J2000. Frustrating!
This morning I found it .. I finally solved it so I have perfect pointing!
The problem: my automation scripts are produced by my database in MS Access. The export that creates the script has been exporting RA and Dec with only 2dp!!! all this time!!! For some objects this is fine but others it results in seemingly unpredictable pointing errors. Stupid microsoft export forces 2dp, the work-around is to format as string having forced it to the required 6dp. Ahhhh. such bliss.
