Thanks Peter.
The sky here is fantastic and it is so good, given I dont use goto, to be able to find and see the things I image.
The Milky Way is so clear it is breath taking and just cruising around with the 80 mm binos is such a pleasure.
Have not got auto guiding working and I am so tired and befuddled due to lack of sleep I just cant muster the energy to work thru the issues...should be simple so not worried. I just am taking advantage of the time to hrab some images ...I am going for quantity not quality☺
I am surprised what my cheap camera lens can do even if focusing is a pain.
I find using Jupiter handy cause when I can see the Moons its a fair focus. When I get focus I apply a little blue tack to hold the focus which is mandatory because the focus is so touchy.
Last night I only used the camera and the cheap lens...but no matter what I do I cant get a perfect polar align probably because I am so tired. Longer exposures than 30 seconds are unbelievable but I cant use them because of trailing.
Thanks again.
Alex
