Hi Greg,

Pretty sure people sync in an attempt to improve pointing. It does, but only in a small area near the sync. My understanding is that it will double the error following a meridian flip.

I'm thinking of asking the question on the SB forum. What if one syncs to improve local pointing, but, after finishing in that area of the sky the sync is deleted? Does the T-Point model just return to the previous condition prior to the sync, or, is it permanently corrupted? I can think of situations where pointing might be a little off and you just want a very quick fix. It would be easier and much faster than a full recalibration if deleting the sync brought one back to the earlier state.

Peter
