After some slow starts trying to figure out why plate solving wouldn't work properly during auto mapping (I needed to clear out the existing N-point model in EQMOD as it was interfering), MaxPoint's auto mapping worked brilliantly
The pic shows the results of the fully automated calibration run after 104 observations over 20-30 mins. Red crosses indicate locations where MaxPoint was able to slew to a location, take an exposure, plate solve it, and add it to the pointing model.
A few quick test slews showed that most targets landed within ~ 1 arc min of centre, give or take. Not too shabby!
