Check this setting

TheSkyX->Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Bad pointing sample criterion(degrees)

what is it ? Bump it up to 2 degrees for your camera. set your search area in the Setup tab of Automated Pointing Calibration Run window to 4 fields of view

see my settings in pic

No extra star libraries needed in The SkyX Greg.

I found the key to get automated t-point run working is that you sync before you start your run and then have your first automated grab somewhere close to our sync position.

If you home the sync and then do a meridian flip before starting automated run that's when it often fails.

I use 3x3 binning and 10 second exposures. I wonder if the chip is too large for it and I'd be better off using the ML8300.

Do you have to have a fairly exact north angle for it to work? That was the case with my Sky 6 and automapper 2 on the PME. Also the Sky 6 needed an extra library of stars. Does Sky X also need more libraries?
