Astrometry says you were a little off with your pointing...

Astrometry.net (Finished job alpha-201108-20092986)

(RA, Dec) center (H:M:S, D:M:S):(22:22:32.228, +55:21:20.045)

Field size :54.96 x 40.49 arcminutes

Hi Stevel,

Am I write in thinking that the RA and Dec you have given are what my image is, any idea what is out scope is set by GPS, on handset I got it to position planetarium Says, normally GOTO is very good.

The RA/DEC is what Astrometry.net determines is the center of the image. Sadly, there are too many variables in anyones system to be able to determine where the error/problem lies.

Thanks very much for info, when it is clear will try again, it must be something I did wrong.
