AHA! This may be my difficulty. The manual does not indicate this
procedure...supposedly (p.46) "Click on Slew Telescope. Guide will read the
encoders at 1/2 second intervals, putting a red circle on the screen to
indicate where the scope is pointed. If the scope is pointed off-screen,
Guide will force a redraw and then put the red circle on the screen."

I hope to test this procedure out, but due to offensive meteorological
factors it may be several weeks (months?) before I have a chance to do so.

I would be curious if others have similar results using the Tangent box?

Bill, have you any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
