I tried 20 min subs last night for the first time...the stars at the edge were marginally elongated...
I am not a big fan of aligning the Heq5 pro...it isnt bery user friendly especially the elevation axis....

Is there some sort of plate that can be mounted between the tripos and mount head that is motorised and can be used to uncrimentally move the mount head in alt az for accurate polar alignment?

hmmm i am not sure if i should move this thread to equipment discussion....

could be cone error?
