Today I managed to figure out how to keep the TMO Nomograph in place, instead of the imperial nomo that comes with the scopes I'm finding. The nomo in TMO is accurate. The other has some inconsistantcies (the blue nomo). Check the speed at 3 minutes and 400 yards...It shoud read 4knts. It doesn't, at least on my puter. I've posted this before, but I don't think anyone caught it. What I wondered about and posted, was questioning if screen resolutions had any effect on the accuracy of the nomo. I don't beleive it does, as most speeds read correctly and the info does not appear skewed. I haven't checked the whole thing, but when I discovered that error, I just didn't trust it any more. The TMO nomo (don't really know who created it) is on the money.

Oops! Hate to admit it, but I was full of doo doo about the nomo. DOH! What an idiot I feel like. I discovered that the nomo I was using had the time and speed columns inverted and thus the inaccuracy. The funny thing is it still read accurate for most readings, but not all. I still prefer the nomo I was using. I don't know exactly who's creation it was, but it was much more detailed than the one most commonly available now. I can't seem to find it anywhere. It had the time (minutes) on the right hand side. This also seemed to work better because when dragging the ruler, you pulled it to the toward the inside instead of the outside of the screen. I say this because after using the more common one, I tend to drag the ruler too far to the outside and thus, autoscroll kicks in and the map shifts. It's very annoying to me. I wish there was a way to disable the auto scroll feature. I was wishing this before the nomo thing. Anyone know how to do this?
