Only 4 months into astrophotography, I polar align my HEQ5 mount using the Synscan polar alignment procedure with hand controller and illuminated reticle eye piece and have achieved a best PAE of Alt 000 00’ 28” and Az 000 00’ 35” It takes at least 3 to 4 shots to achieve this accuracy
I’m getting exposures of up to 1 minute 30 sec before the start of star trailing
Later in the year, next step is to get a guide scope, laptop, Stellarium, ascom , Stellarium scope , PHD2, Photoshop , backyard EOS etc etc ... to advance to the next level
Is it worthwhile having my Canon 600D modified ( remove IR filter ) through the Camera Clinic in Melbourne ?
