BUG ALERT

It seems that there is an error in one of the numerical routines associated with the 3-point alignment algorithms. This causes the slew adjustments to go wrong and results in counter-weights-up slews to the vicinity of the target you wanted. This is not desirable behaviour obviously and so at this time I recommend that people turn the 3-point algorithm off (in the Align window) until I can fix the issue.
