I have found that the accuracy of my goto's is directly related to my polar alignment on the temmas (both my em200 and njp). If alignment isn't pretty good,...

I'm gathering from the statement that refining polar alignment is the means to improve pointing accuracy that the Tak hand paddle does not have error modeling?...
The tak hand controller does not have "error modeling". For my use its not really necessary. Between the sky 6 and the inherent quality of the tak polar scope...

As I dimly remember geometry (studied last century): "Three points" will define your alignment but polar alignment provides two of those points, the Celestial...
