Josh, Thanks for your input. First off, I'm not 80 arcmin out...I was 82 arcsec low, and that is now fixed to the point that a 65 point T-point run super model indicates PA is spot on and has no recommendation. I'm pretty happy about that. I used a method in photoshop that I made up. I noticed that the FOV indicator in TSX showed my camera sensor in arcmin, so I divided the pixel count in the y axis by the arcmin in the y axis and derived that about 1 arcmin was equal to about 26 pixels. Then I created a grid where the squares were all 1 arcmin. I used the "free transform" tool to show the center of the photos. With the grid, and knowing exactly where the center is it was fairly easy to plot the move in altitude. I kind of like this method because I did not need to slew at all. All I needed to do was open an initial photo in CS5 and note the starting point of the star movement, then take a second photo to see the effect of raising the polar axis.
Logan, sure I could post at SB. I have noticed that sometimes replies are slow in coming and I was hoping for something quick here, which is pretty much what I got.
