Hello.

Last time I was out I wanted to continue on with a project.

So I open up an image through SGP and rightclick and plate solve. Then I use that information to slew and center and take my first shot, discovering that the center of the image is not near the center of the image I platesolved. I tried and tried - to no avail.I finally had to resort to nudging.

My scope was sitting on one end of a losmandy bracket, perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, and I had a dslr mounted on the opposite end of the bracket, so the imaging scope was offset by 6 inches from the mount. Could that have been the reason for platesolving issue?
