What is good pointing with a PME and narrow field of view?
Hi again,
One thing I noticed the other night with the RC12 and the STL11K is that despite a pointing accuracy of 12" my pointing was still a little off the target I was aiming toward. I attach an image here to illustrate the point.
I was aiming for the middle star in the running man on the right hand side of the nebula. M43 is on the right hand side of the image for reference. You can see that pointing is a bit off and I would have expected to be a bit closer. Is this 12"? I would have said it was further but I could be wrong.
Just for reference this is 74 points but not all the sky. Only 3 extra terms added to the base terms. About 1/3 of the sky, so I know the model is not strong but it got me fairly close.
Bottom line, with a longer focal length do I need say 300 points, protrack turned on and better pointing accuracy?
