Making a star pointing model is extremely important to use your telescope properly.. without it you won’t be able to see any object in the sky.

Making a pointing model with a camera is not easy either. In the past, i have spent hours and hours in a session to make a model manually for about 50 stars. The problem has always been my super small Field of View which used to 8*8 arcminutes.

Enter the new world: Wide Field of View!

Installing new equipment had given me over a degree of FOV and now is the time to try automating pointing model. So tonight i did exactly that.. Lo and behold.. this is the result:

This is the path automation followed and the circles are the spots where the exact telescope’s position was noted. In numbers, 85 points were added. Now finding any object will be a breeze by my C14 telescope. Thank you Tpoint!
