Thanks very much for your help there. Much appreciated.
I think I am on top of it now. I studied the manual and I did a plate solve on an image I took last night and it worked. I now have the position angle etc.
Because it is a 16803 chip I wonder if the FOV is too large. The manual says no larger than 10 degrees. I am not sure how wide the 16803 is at F5.25 and 140mm aperture but perhaps it is close.
I suspect it will all work fine now.
There are a couple of cool features in this new T-point add on. I am not sure of the earlier T-point will do this but you can do a quick recallibration of an existing model when you setup newly using the old large model. That is great as imagine if you had a 300 point model and you had to do it newly each time you setup. You'd never do it.
Also the optimization of the model automatically instead of the earlier tutorial of trying out different terms to see which ones worked and which didn't.
Its really very sophisticated.
Cheers,
Greg.
