The 2 algorithms available are 3 point plus nearest and nearest point which you can select
I use 3 point plus nearest which is excellent
It would be helpful for you to read up on EQMOD
The manual is available on their website
www.eq-mod.sourceforge.net
Don’t know if this answers your enquiry
It certainly does to a point.

So am I correct in assuming that I should perform a drift alignment first and then follow with one of the star alignment options?
