If you can lay hands on some fine, black monofilament, or whatever it is that's used in gun scopes, you could make an optical crosshair and skip the computer generated one. The real crosshair's position isn't going to wabble about as the camera chenges temperature and it won't be dependent on

And one more question - I recall that somebody defined the camera as tool 99 to treat the offset along x and y between camera and spindle. I did measure these offsets, but I do not understand, what to do next. I edited tooltable, added tool, also gave it number 99, entered offsets along x, y,

If you have a vice, or even just a good sharp square edge part that you can set X/Y axis zero with an edge finder or wiggler, then move your camera cross hairs into position and note the correction factor on the DRO position screen. As to the camera mount - how about a male/female pair of vee
