Hi Bert,

I am new in every aspect of astronomy. After spent many nights and tens of hours of drift alignment following often contracted instruction from webpages, I managed to have fairly still star on illuminated reticule over more than 10 mins at both North/equator star (for Azi) and West (for alt), from then I tried TPoints run, quite accurate on almost every slew....then the trouble, I followed the Tpoint recommendation to adjust the mount azi/alt (off over 100arcmins), back to SkyX...every star slew is far far off...My drift alignment and TPoint seemed fighting each other. Please help... I want to get this alignment business over and go on to do other more interesting things..

David
