Hi Shane
Thank you for your kindness and compliment.

Maybe a little smart but lazy maybe.

When computer programs etc don't work I don't know what to do.

I feel helpless because I am not great with computers...

I presume if you have a wedge you have a fork mount???

I find the CSP by placing the scope in home position and then take a time exposure so I can see star trails..the scope is not tracking but sits stationary during this proceedure...

Look at the capture and then adjust the mount until you have concentric circles ( arc of stars really) and you can have the center of these circles in the center of your capture.

I think you could do similar with a fork mount by setting your scope parallel to the forks ..take a time exposure that shows arc star trails and the adjust the wedge until you get the circle centred.
