By default only the first two differ between default.sxt and AutoPointingRun.sxt. Back when I first upgraded to TheSkyX (14 months ago now) I found the ones in default.sxt represented a better starting point, so I set the ones in AutoPointingRun.sxt the same and then made minor adjustments from there. That immediately made a huge difference in success rates. Tweaking then improved things to 100% success.
I do not recommend doing automated calibration runs at 1x1 binning. There's no point in doing 1x1 for automated calibration runs. I bin 4x4 with 5-10 second exposures. Binning will NOT affect your pointing accuracy. I always let the automated calibration first do an image link to compute and set my image scale and position angle before proceeding on to the run.
Also note that any time I need to do a sync, I take a picture, do an image link, then sync on linked image. I do not do them manually.
