Set it all up last night (only takes about two hoirs at my pace☺) and had most asiair things working but my problem is with star alignment as the scope wont park where I want. I dont use goto so even though I have had goto mounts for over a decade never bothered. .I only ever wanted tracking. The problem is no doubt me doing something wrong. I will sort it out tonight ..just too tired last night from the trip the day before...I was on the road 12 hours all up as I had a detour via Cessnock and some trouble to boot.
But at 11 approx last night I turned of asiair and I connected the lap top switched on sharpcap and froze to at least get some actual imaging rather than asiair yesting etc ... polar was perfect and the mount ran unguided for up to five minutes but I elected for one minute subs...of the Swan (or Omega) Nebula...just lum and ha to have something of the night...but so cold ..I had to go inside at 1 am as I recon it must have been around zero... and now cant get warm.
All good.
Alex
