Hello everyone
Recently, I've restarted to play NASSP and, mostly thanks to the new MCC feature, I finally made it to TLI in Apollo 8 after years of failures.
I'm currently stuck at around T+4h and some minutes, when you have to run P23 for the first time and perform the star sightings.
Now: I might be dumb as hell, and the fact that english is not my first language is not helping, but I've literally spent the last week trying every single way to "superimpose" the star to the horizon of the earth but I'm always getting crazy delta values and program alarms.
Pardon me again since I'm not english, but for what I understand by reading this post:
https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=597615
And translating what superimpose means in my language, I'm supposed to move the star in a way such that it "touches" the horizon, which (at least that's what I understand) means "move it into the border of the earth"
A screenshot here might help you to understand (yeah you cannot see the star since I was using the flashing screen you get by pressing V, but you can stay sure that at that moment the star was perfectly at the center of the cross): this imposition is what I understand as being "correct" and where I press Mark

Now: I probably got it wrong, but there is literally nowhere around Internet that shows the proper way to do it visually, so I'm stuck with forum discussions talking about "superimposing SLOS into LLOS" and, as I've already said, I'm probably getting the whole thing completely wrong.
So, where do I have to put the star into? Cause I tried literally everything. The only time i get values close to 0 is by imposing it into the center of the earth, which I doubt is the correct way to do it.
Also: is it normal that the wasd keys behaves strangely with the coupling mode set to resolve? Like, w and s moves left and right and a and d move up/down? P52 doesn't do that.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
