I forgot to tell you that TPoint works with "TheSky" software (a.k.a. "brand X" on this forum). I think Bill has something that does the same thing with Guide8, but I forget what it is called.

I use TheSky to control the telescopes, except in rare instances, such as when I want to find a fast-moving asteroid. There I think Guide cannot be beat. Guide is my favorite program for everything else: displaying USNO A2 & B1 data, displaying RealSky & DSS images of galaxies; knowing when things rise, set, transit; getting an idea of what I might see when looking at a particular planet (including where the moons are). Guide was my "first love" as an astronomy program!

Patrick,
I suspect that I have the same problem with my Celestron-8. Would you
please tell me what the T-point program is, and how to access it?
