Reflection
Thanks for the comments.
The scope is in good condition as it was owned by a scientist friend and the clock drive works fine except for PE. I have the collimation sorted out and alignment less than 5 min. off the pole now .
I will try without the reducer and think about modifying my second camera.
I have had more luck with an old 800 f8 ed lense and GPS astrotracer up to 40 sec. or wide field. However the field rotation and GPS is a pain so I would like to try it on the scope with old school hand correction until I can build a new arduino hand control with guiding. I think if it can be done on film by hand you should be able to do it with a DSLR. Learning a lot before throwing money at a new eq mount and small ed scope.
