TPAS (Argo Navis): Who's used it?
After being encouraged by another observer for some time to start using the TPAS function with my Argo Navis to improve the pointing accuracy of the Argo+Mary Rose, I spent the last few days studying the relevant pages of the Argo Navis manual, and finally worked out how to use it.
I used the less than ideal conditions tonight to do a pointing run of about 20 stars using the Mode Identify function, then let Argo do some computations.
Bottom line? A HUGE improvement in pointing accuracy, such that every object I sampled was in the FOV of the Ethos. That is much better than previously, when I would often find myself ranging around the sky trying to find an object, having "located" it with Argo.
What have your experiences been with TPAS?
