re Time on go to mounts.

A few of my friends have had problems with go to 's so I thought Id post this:

For every minute of error in the Handcontroller time, the target object will be off by about 0.25° , as the Earth rotates roughly by this amount per minute. If the time is off by around 4 minutes, the target will be off by one whole degree!!!- 1° - And level the tube and tripod on your alt az mount also .Hope this helps.
