Wow, you really got your mount setup beautifully Marcus.

I tried using PemPro demo to fit a PEC. I got a PEC curve but its upload to PME option did not work as it said to do. Or at least I don't think it did.

How did you find Precision PEC? Pempro claims to be more accurate because of a few things it takes into account. But of course if you can't upload it when done it isn't is it?

How did you do your polar alignment - CCD drift alignment? Or did you use T-Point and follow its recommendations?

I improved mine recently and am back to round stars. I was getting slightly eggy stars for a while.

One thing that helped was I entered the time more precisely using my iphone's clock.

And using a 15 point T-point polar alignment recommendation.

I think I need to do a 50 point model and see what the recommendation is to tweak it a bit more. Automapper may be just the tool. Is it hard to set up?

Greg.
