Update...

I asked the MAxim board and even though Maxim was giving me a solution, it wasn't a good one... Hence PoleAlignMax was always doomed to failure.

I started using T-Point and after generating about 6 terms, the mount started making unsuspected movements (not large) - presumably because T-Point (via TheSky) was trying to correct the mount alignment and positioning. Anyow, it was a real pain and I achieved nothing.

I ran another Pinpoint solution at about 1am and then I woke up, in the PC chair, at about 2.30 am. Solutionless but still with my hair :D

Cheers

Dave McD

Hmm, perhaps a little too contentious....

No - not really sure at the moment. The images were showing the main sync'd star bang in the center. But PoleAlignMax couldn't solve it...

One suggestion was that I need to go deeper and get an image with lots more stars on it (maybe M13 :lol: )

If weather permits tonight, I'll give it another bash.

T-Point might be the way to do it if PoleAlignMax fails...
