MaxPoint, it creates a model of your telescope mount, including any polar axis misalignment, offsets, and mechanical flexure.
Once this is done, MaxPoint automatically corrects your telescope position to ensure it is always on-target. With MaxPoint, even very low-cost GOTO mounts can routinely achieve a pointing accuracy of 1-2 arc-minutes over the whole sky!
The telescope model is easily generated using one of two methods. The first is to manually make a series of observations. Simply double-click on a reference star on the sky map.
After MaxPoint slews to the star, center it in the telescope and click " " to add the observation. Repeat this for a number of stars across the sky, and you're done!
Once a model has been defined, MaxPoint lets you see exactly what the errors in your telescope mount are, including a direct measurement of your polar alignment error.
