I checked the settings on my Laptop that I used in my attempt to record 2023 FH7 and they all looked okay. In the test images I took (tracking at the Sidereal Rate) at the set up stage, they were correctly centred on the plotted position of 2023 FH7, but the rock was moving too fast for the 30 sec exposure to register its trail. I tried 2x2 Bin and 4x4 Bin modes ( I know that this does not increase the photon flux) to see if something might show up. 
Its when I used the Mount SW to Track at the Custom Rate of 2023 FH7 that I ran in the offset problems and I guess I have to put that down to operator error, as all the settings post that session seem to be in order.
I guess I'll have to wait for the next one.
Cheers
