Right, well I’ll see if I can get a more realtime view to tonight and see how I go. Finding a brighter star might be the trick. My view was close to SCP, so only faint stars around. Problem was I still hand’t polar aligned so wasn’t up to trying GOTO yet.
I did get the guide scope doing some plate solving for polar alignment just before I had to quit for the night, so the focus was close enough for that at least. However the adjustment vector after the initial solve was off the screen so I was obviously a ways out of alignment. I used the Polar Align Pro app for the initial scope placement and did have some issue with it as the south indication kept jumping around between readings as if it was losing its true south offset. I read lots of rave reviews of the app before buying, so I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong with it too, or there’s some sort of interference where I am.
