Not sure why - I suppose the object is not at the same angle each night and you no longer have apples with apples.

Greg, I just wanted to demonstrate that of the 846 points I mapped on about 6 runs each one solved except two points and that was because it could not see stars. A much larger model could be done but that will not help until I have solved the slop issues in the mount. Once this is done and it points better on the entire sky then I will do a larger model and perhaps a super model in one night. The main issue of course is getting the mount to point around 60 seconds without new terms first instead of on an all sky model of pointing at 159 seconds, despite a model of 50 points on the east side (narrow section of sky) showing pointing of 15 seconds. Then when I started on a whole sky model the pointing went to pieces.

Thanks Fred for the confirmation. I take it you are referring to both axis having no slop? That would be my understanding of what you are saying here.
