Here is a pic of the garbage I am seeing now. Almost the entire night is a write off, I am not sure if it is balance or alignment or levelling or all three?

I seriously need to pull the finger out and install the pier and build the freaking obs, this portable garbage wastes soooooo much of my time and sanity and gives absolutely bull crap inconsistent results it makes me want to take to it with a baseball bat.

There. Rant over. Back to see if eggs are on the menu with my latest sub......

Hey Chris,
Hope it's not a dumb question but why is you graph in Ra/Dec not Dx/Dy as recommended for the PHD graph/alignment procedure?
Cheers
Andy
