Thanks to John (Ausastronomer) for giving me the low down re TPAS on the phone this morning.
It may well be that when my scope fell over shortly after I first got it, the alt encoder (which came off - attached the arm) was not put back on properly. This is no doubt adversely affecting the natural pointing accuracy of the scope. John is going to drop in during the week to have a look, and see if we can't get the numbers down even further.
Sounds like I should not be using all of the terms, too. For example, I undertand now that in most circumstances one does not use ECES and ECEC at the same time, and that IE, CA and NPAE vary between sessions and should not be saved.
In relation to the Fix Alt Ref Auto function, I understand that the TPAS IE function renders this entirely otiose, so I will set this to OFF from now on.
Hope I got that right?!
