Hi Paul,

I think you may of just fixed one of the biggest problems that I had out there, thank you. So techically since the RA drive is running in Sidereal mode the star wont drift to far off the screen I gather.

Excellent, im not sure where I read you turn tracking off but anyway one problem fixed.

Ok my last little worry. The reticule angle in accordance with the center of polaris as such. Do I need to have the star running perfectly up and down the reticule initially to then make the right adjustments off that. Once I have done that, do I just wait say 5 mins/or wait for the star to drift a little bit before making adjustments. Hope I make sense to you.

Cheers.
