Unlike the old StarBook controller, the STAR BOOK TEN controller saves these errors permanently. The periodic error of the mount is measured in the factory (total of 12 points per 30 degrees worm gear) and corrected before delivery. This is known as V-PEC and functions automatically as soon as you use the mount. It delivers an accuracy of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e+\/- 4.0 arc seconds\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
