Scott, for the 201 I find I need a 9mm EP (and a reticle is helpful). The
FOV of the 26 is just too large to reliably center the 201.

I have had the occasional memory outage also. No idea about this, I'd
definitely like to hear other's comments.

The autocenter works in "straight through" mode; the diagonal is no doubt
confusing the software. Try again with the CCD on the OAG, "straight
thru". You can attach the ccd to the oag via the threads, but that limits
the rotation freedom at the ccd head.
Cordially,
