HI Patrick,

I have a Meade LX200GPS 10" on a wedge and use Alignmaster.

I have had no issues with the time it takes between the 2 star selection and have never had it time out or do anything strange. Quite often though, after selecting a set of stars for the first run through with Alighmaster, the next set of stars to choose may not have the previous set available and have to choose a different set of stars. Normal though as the earth is turning.

As a note with the scope setup, before I use Alignmaster, I put the scope in the home polar position, run Alignmaster, then do a 2 or 3 star sync, ie go to a star, centre it and press the sync button. Seems to work well.

I would have thought that tracking is a must, I have it turned on.

Cheers,

Damien.
