Geoff,

The 90 degree axis angle is irrelevant. It is critical with less intelligent DSC systems but Argo Navis works around it with complex mathematics.

That first setting with getting the scope at 90 degrees with the base is fairly critical, I think. With the Auto Adjust On, the Argo will adjust the angle as you align different objects during the session. It seems I have an intermittent problem with the azimuth encoder and not the cables as originally thought
The auto adjust on/off function is also now obsolete with the new TPAS system incorporated into the last two releases of the Argo Navis firmware.

I suggest you spend more time reviewing the TPAS section of the Argo Navis user manual. At present it sounds like you're spending time on criteria that don't matter.

Cheers,
John B
