    He’s already solved the polar alignment issue

     

    It’s just hard doing it in a cold paddock in the dark and sometimes easier after a nights sleep and a warm up and rethink

     

    My mount didn’t want to play with SGP (first time out)

    Only for me to realise it was missing the coms driver for USB to the hand controller

    2 mins looking in the daylight and warm – solved!

    Astrophotography isn’t that easy and it gets complex real fast if you let it!!!

    I finally got everything working last night on the new rig … guiding at 0.6″ – autofocuser working etc

    And… wifi connected so I was imaging from my comfy Lazy Boy .. def better tweaking and trouble shooting from the warmth of the log burner vs a frozen laptop outside … !!!
