Happy to do this, so if I understand correctly - this means:

1. Power on telescope but press ESC to revert to last pointing setup
2. Manually set the hand controllers clock (or even ignore this too?)
3. Use the Sky6 to go to a star
4. Centre on this star and from the Sky6 issue a sync

* * *

5. Next I have to refresh the Tpoint model, to do this I presume I
6. Have the current 110 star pointing model loaded, else load a new one (not yesterday's short run 6 star model) and import the 110 star model in
7. start a short imaging run of 6 stars
8. close this and return to the Sky.

Note when I do this I see the IH and ID terms change and all the rest are locked (good) however I see the reported pointing RMS go from 18 arc seconds to 50 arc seconds when I trialled this yesterday using the scope simulator on another PC.

But have I got the step of how to execute your advice correctly set out guys?

Many thanks,
Matthew
