Erik,

I'm not looking at the software at the moment, however, I believe you go to the telescope tab for the add sample. You do this after you take an image and then plate solve it - then add the sample and repeat after slewing away to a new target.

If your polar alignment isn't too far out you can avoid doing this, especially if you have the all sky databae installed (highly recommended!). If not, and PA is too far out, you may need to start a new T-point run by manually adding about 5 or so samples. After that t-point should know where the mount is and you can go automated...at least do 10 or so points on each side of the meridian, then make your polar adjustment and do another run. You should be close enough after that to guide very well.

PS Feel free to contact me off line if you have ther questions. The SkyX can be formidable in the beginning!
