Hi Phil,

No problem sucking eggs....I just feel like I suck at this!

1. I am using the latest daily build of TSX
2. I am firmly mounted on a pier
3. I have not beeen able to do any PEC yet because CCDSoft will not run with my camera, even with ASCOM, and I've tried 3 different drivers. I will need to look at PemPro soon.
4. Pretty sure trailing is in RA
5. I've checked the pier, mount attachment, scope to dovetail, and focuser to camera for tightness. All seem excellent.
6. If I had a problem with slop I highly doubt I could get the T-Point results posted.
7. I will try ProTrack with the tab "open."

Your results speak loudly; I cannot get close to that and I think my alighnment is superior to yours. I keep thinking that there might be something wrong with my basic sidereal tracking. But, I still don't get why stars look like they are trailing on the left side as opposed to the right side of the image.
