My experiences with sync recently seem to show that Syncing is a touchy thing.
The mount got bumped when I was adjusting some heavy counterweights and moved it slightly.
Go-tos from a 100 point model were now badly off so I did a new sync.
Now the scope was trying to point to the northern hemisphere in go-tos. It took me a while to understand what was going on. I had to click on set to southern hemisphere again (even though the software said it was set to southern hemisphere) and then all was good again.
The bottom line is Sky X is northern hemisphere-centric. It does not like us southerners and kind of lets us play reluctantly. Its not the first time we have been second tier citizens with regards to it working in the southern hemisphere.
Next time I do a T-point (please Astro Gods, not for a while!) I will try it without a sync as I can see it may introduce a bias to one area of the sky.
Greg.
