Rally, I know about going back and forth, I have done this more often than not in the last couple of months.
The 11 terms actually are 5 extras, but each one makes it better. I think I started with 280 odd. I have read the instructions so give me credit here. 10% for each term or not at all. Right? Like you though I did ask the question about the RMS, I am trying to sort out what is going on there too.
Please see attached a copy of the dialogue box. Let me know if you can figure out what is going on.
I take your point about the points. I have done heaps of runs to get PA sorted but after 7 or 8 shortish runs I would have thought that PA is nailed? Don't you agree?
I agree that the Tpoint is not going to sort out things, but I was seeking an explanation as to why the RMS is so scattered. I knew it was odd but could not find any explanation over the net for this particular pattern.
I don't think it is flexure on the imaging train. You know what the Tak scopes are like, but I will check the screws holding the unit in place just in case. No wind, Clayton hardly ever has wind at night, lots during the day but not at night. Should not be vibration, you know the pier and I have fixed the connections with this adapter plate. Could be backlash, PEC not completely sorted yet. I bought Precision PEC to sort that. Tomorrow night I am going down again and I will do the PEC first, then work on PA.
Mapped points are scattered across the meridian but I reckon there was a lot more on the East side than the West. Maybe 15% on West. Not sure how to correct this as Automapper II does not seem to have an adjustment for that. I will take a look in the Sky6 and see if I can use a mapping model from that. If you have a suggestion here I would be interested.
Yes deleting old model after each adjustment.
Orientation to North is about 77 degrees according to WSC research. Good idea, I guess I need to shift that to North or near to it?
Appreciate the time you put into your reply but I have read pretty extensively on this and the instruction manuals can be a little thin. Suggestions are really appreciated.
Edit: sorry trying to put the fit info box up in text version
