I only ever synchronise before doing a TPoint mapping run, never once I've got a good mapping run, so here I'm refering to the initial synchronisation when for all intensive purposes the mount is new out of the box.

I very much doubt that's a possibility. That's the kind of thing which is modeled out by TPoint, there's no reason I can think that the pier would move differently during the day than at night (if it moves at all) (for example being knocked).

overall yeah, I'm quite happy with it, certainly on the night I do a good TPoint mapping run things are as perfect as could be expected. Just a few niggling things to sort out.

I'd call 120 pionts moddest. Large, and sufficient for ProTrack to work well is 250+ from my reading and advice from others. I do have ProTrack enabled and it works well even with my 120 points for goto, but I haven't enabled tracking adjustments in ProTrack except for one test, as I'm quite sure I need that 250+ points for that to function well. 250 isn't a problem, I just haven't had a spare night to do it, or been sure enough I'll keep the model for several nights - I'm still finding new thinngs to try and so throwing away models frequently.
Looking at it now I think my attempt at a Short Mapping Run last night has messed up my model
so need to do a new one I think, maybe. oh well, lots to learn.
