Hi Blake,
I can't think of any way SkyTools can help with that directly, but I'll keep thinking on it. Sometimes things that aren't straight forwardly possible can be indeed be done with some ingenuity.
I do wonder though--why use the offset? The tiling in SkyTools figures out the center position for each tile, given the amount of overlap (in pixels) that you specify. Most telescopes can be driven to a specific RA/Dec for each tile. Why wouldn't that work?
