help with Tpoint (pointing errors) please?

Hi-

I have SkyX 10.5.0 build 10305, and would appreciate some comments on how to relieve my current problem:

I have the Paramount MX+, with a 14" Meade LX200 on it.

The motherboard was replaced maybe a year ago.

I have fiddled with the Tpoint add-on, and have maybe 24 points or more of data.  I have received the "run a supermodel" popup, so I have done it.  Each time I use the scope, however, I always have to adjust the pointing using the finder scope.  I hit "add pointing data" each time, but the pointing error does not seem to be getting better.

Should this be the case?  I would like to be able to look at deep sky objects, which are too faint to identify with the finder scope.

It seems to me that I must be missing something....

I have a digital camera, and I understand that I could use it to do a thorough automatic calibration, but I don't trust that will work since I have so much adjusting to do each time I want to point at something.

Advice appreciated -- thanks!!!  Greg Ojakangas
