I'm not using your setup but this is how it normally works with my Sky
Commander (after you move the telescope, you have to hit "slew Guide" to have
the screen recenter on the telescope's position). When I asked Bill about a
real time "tracking" capability for my DSC some time ago, I seem to recall
him answering that this was to be a feature of the next edition?
