Or, to put it another way, how would a 3 star alignment allow the mount to locate an object only 16d 26' 28" from Hadar (as the celestial crow flies) when a 1 star alignment can not, yet will allow the mount to faithfully locate an object 19d 10' 48" from that same Hadar, almost 3d further away?
My query is not about the relative merits of the different alignment methods, but rather abiout the apparent discrepency between a data base orchestrated goto and a manual goto operation.
Using The SKY Atlas I can do an image link with an image of mine of M42, and also a dss plate of the target areas, so I think it fair to say that The Sky software is reliable. I can not get an 'image link' with the field I am imaging.
That is the problem.
