Matthew, I saw this post on the SB forum as well.

I think you need to dismiss the pointing-type model that the Vixen can provide (1, 2 and 3 star). You need to think of T-point as doing it all. Forget the Vixen modelling, in fact, don't even refer to it as modelling (it just confuses the matter). It's more of a 'sync' for positioning.

Coming from a MX, you 'home' the mount electronically to a set position each use. Because that position is set, fixed, the model is ready to go each night and accurate.

For you, would you not do a 'synchronize' into a single star or image link into a star field each night? That would be your starting point, NOT the Vixen's 1, 2 and 3 star stuff. Don't even use that if possible.

From that initial 'sync' (via single star or image link), you would THEN proceed to do T-point modelling. How does this sound?

Cheers, Logan.
