That's not so good news. I was hoping that by adding more
alignment stars, Guide could automatically compensate out through
positioning the mechanical and other errors. Scope allows only 3
alignment maximum, whereas Guide was supposed to allow a lot of them.

So, in this case, MEC through extra alignment stars is a lost cause?
Is there anything that will change this?

Thanks;
