the yellow lines connect the spots the telescope will shoot for calibration, and the yellow circle is where it's at now. After a 145 sample calibration I'll get really accurate data and instructions on how to polar align and then I'll do a 332 sample data collection and that will allow me to set up the system to work around all the wierd little oddities of my sky and my system. Pretty cool calculations to find all this data out. And it's a great thing to do, to hyper calibrate the system.
