I'm actually using tracking software that has performed very well in the past. But not so much now.

In the past, when the tracking software has worked flawlessly, it's been when my Autostar has told me that my polar alignment was very very good.

The times I've tried recently however, my Autostar is telling me that my polar alignment is off... and the software hasn't been able to track worth beans.

So, I've put 2 and 2 together in my head, and am assuming that the software isn't tracking because I can't get my mount correctly aligned.

The software is constantly trying to correct on the DEC. axis. That's why I asked my original question. According the guy who wrote the tracking software, corrections to the DEC. should be minimal.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around it. LOL.
