I'm a fool!!!

Ever since I've been imaging I've used EQMod and TheSky6 software. I set my location etc in EQMod and automatically thought that would be the default settings in TheSky6.....it's not.

After I polaraligned I would slew to a nearby star and it would be quite a way out. I would manually move the scope to get it in view then slew to another star and so on. Eventually after a few stars I'd get the scope to slew pretty accurately.

I've now put the correct location and time etc into TheSky6 and the first slew was nearly perfect, second slew spot on and I'm now imaging m31 which appeared bang in the centre first time.

I'm officially the biggest fool on SGL.

It wouldn't be that bad but I've made the same mistake for the last 6 months
