I had a successful trial using APPM for the first time (just purchased software). I did a simple model first of 25 points; I did a small model first to understand how it works. Note, prior to this model the mount tracks very well as I did polar / PEM via. Of the 25 points, I had two failures. When model was loaded into APCC and I had Pointing/Tracking Correction I was getting significant tracking issues with the Tracking Correction turned on. Pointing worked very well.
