If you can plate solve, why would you need alignmaster or PEMPro etc.?
I was planning on just using drift align techniques with my wedge,
but if you can plate solve then its ( possibly ) much easier.
Ie my thoughts were you probably wouldnt even need the scope running
Just declutch and point to HA = -6, take a shot ( DEC1)
now manually swing in RA only to HA = +6 and take a shot ( DEC2 )
now manually swing in RA only to HA = 0 and take a shot. ( DEC3 )
By not doing a goto slew or touching the DEC axis, we "should" get three results with a common DEC if we are aligned.
The delta between DEC1 and DEC2 gives us twice the true error for the Az error and the delta between ( DEC1 + DEC2 ) /2 and DEC3 gives the error in Alt.
It should be trivial to then run a stepper to adjust by the measured amount????
