A strange thing happended last night! I did drift alignment, then did a 1 star alignment for my LX200GPS. I decided not to manually release the DEC clutch this time but "trust" that my mount was polar aligned and didn't bother looking for the first "Sigma" star (as it is supposed to be spot on anyway). As usual after centering the second alignment star my gotos were out a little bit. But I decided to use my Star Map softwarre program and slewed to Sombreo Galaxy. It was exactly dead centre on the DSI ccd chip!
I beginning to think my Long/Lat and time need to be checked on my HBX controller after everty GPS run!
