Sorry, Mr. E&C Lanning
I don't want to mislead you, John's the expert here.
Listen to him!!!
To me, Even with good collimation, Some of the items I slew to are not
always dead perfevt in the middle of the Field of view, So I have to adjust
and center it on the eyepiece, but then I just push the enter button so the
coorinates match!.
They don't call him the" Hotmail " for nothing! Keep them straight John!
