Hi Peter

As I wasn't expecting any Southern Hemisphere related PE problem, it took me a while to validate my set up and operational practices to make sure that I wasn't the source of the problem.

This has left me with data files scattered over several sessions and 3 PC's which makes it difficult to analyse that data with confidence due to variations in Image Scale, Position Angle, windy nights (lots of them!), etc.

However, now that I believe that SB has acknowledged that there is a Southern Hemisphere PE defect, I am better informed. For my next session I will create a formal running sheet and make records of the output from PEMPro, the SB Legacy Procedure and the new SB TrainPEC Procedure.

In the meantime, I opened my last (successful) PEMPro Log File in the PEMPro Log Viewer and it indicated a Peak-to-Peak PE error of 0.851 arscec/pixel.

Cheers

Dennis

EDIT:
Added the BEFORE screen capture to show the PE before it was measured and applied to the Mount.
