Interesting read Greg,

I'm contemplating the MyT Mount, so is relevant for me.
Curious to know, with a mount like the PMX, do you really need the 300 point model to get tracking and good pointing accuracy?
what happens if you get it polar aligned accurately within a minute or so but don't have a large model.
How is the pointing accuracy and tracking?
Just trying to understand why it needs a 300 point model if precision is high and polar alignment is very close.
I'm making the jump up from an Eq6 to a MyT mainly for consistent pointing and tracking, not just from an observatory but also from various sites where I can't afford to do a large model.
Just wondering if I should rethink my approach.

Cheers
Alistair
