Hi Raymo,
Thanks for your advice I’ve had quick glance at the DARV method a few months ago
It’s on my list to try after using the illuminated reticle eyepiece
I’ve been using the Skywatcher Synscan PA method on my HEQ5 for some time now and have had good results ( on a couple of occasions the PAE was Mel 000.00’00” and Maz 000.00’00” which I know is not an accurate reading) Longest exposures with this method before noticing star trailing or elongation of stars on x10 DSLR zoom was between 90 and 120 sec.
So much to learn and not enough clear night time ( patience thrown in with bit of anxiety and frustration is all part of this incredible hobby I suppose )
