Hi Ray,

the weather here in Quebec is bad since 10 days so I can't do some test
myself. Hope this will change tomorrow.

Hi Yves,

No, I would always leave the camera attached. It was so long ago since I last tried using TPoint that it could have been a number of
different things that caused the problem. When I finally get some decent weather here I will try it out again. The last two mornings
have been clear (but cloudy the night before) so I'm hoping the weather will improve soon.

Hi Ray!

You said you have always to do a short mapping run. Did you disconnect
the ccd camera from telescope at the end of session?

Thank you,

Yves

Hi Pat,

I'm glad that your results were so good! Can you summarize the entire
procedure from parking to unparking? Did you use the Park command in
TheSky? Whenever I have tried this (restarting) pointing would be close
but not right on and synching would make things worse. A short 6-star
Tpoint run seemed always necessary and then pointing was good again.
It sounds like you were able to get spot-on pointing accuracy without
the initial short TPoint run.
