Thank you Leo and Stefan , I appreciate your comments.
When the NEO elements are up to date and the PC Clock and Lat and Long are accurate, the The Sky X Pro and the Paramount MX+ usually place the NEO pretty much in the middle of the FOV.
Then all it takes is to “Set the tracking Rate” to the NEO in TSX and TSX tracks on the NEO.
If I were to track at the sidereal rate, when the NEO is moving too fast and is too faint, the NEO trail would not be recorded by the sensor as the incoming photons are too spread out in the trail and do not register on the sensor.
So, by having the MX+ track on the NEO, the photons arrive at the same pixel location(s) and I can thus image fainter objects.
Dennis.
