Mike,  Must be using Vol 2 of 249?  Try Volume 1 (selected stars).
Except for Polaris, the stars I shoot are ALWAYS in 249 Vol 1.  They
are the only stars I shoot out here.

You can download HO 229 et al from here:

No offense taken, I've never been too good with AM stars.

My plot below shows the same issue.  Basically 2 legit fixes in there.

Mine does on the computer, but won't print it out.  It mathmatically
calculates MPP somehow and displays Lat and Long as you can see in the
picture.
