Sometimes even simple errors may be instructive!
This picture of M92 is off center: it seems a simple pointing error, but nowadays pounts are very precise, and SGPRO checks the correct pointing before beginning the sequence so what's wrong?
So, the difference in position is caused by Earth lunisolar equinox precession.
I set in SGPRO the position of M92, got from SkySafary at 2020 equinox (already corrected for precession) but the mount expected Coordiantes at 2000 equinox so corrected (again) for precession.
Result: In this image the off center of M92 is exactly the amount of the precession in 20 years.
