Slow but steady progress

Thanks Nick,

I think I’m reasonably polar aligned...mechanically, the polar routine gets the star bang in the middle of a cross hair EP.

I’ve setup using the SW WiFi adapter and iOS app. And the SynScan mobile ascom driver. So can’t seem to find a PAE option. Nor will it give me sensible alignment Stars. In any case alignment is ok. (Do I need two telrads on my scope? One alignment star always puts the finder where no finder should ever go! This EQ stuff is a lot of hassle)

Sharp cap is up and running with a asi 294 on my c925 (currently at native FL), astrotortilla and Allstar plate solver loaded, and sharpcap solving and talking to mount...all via ascom and wireless.

The kicker you ask? Well any exposure of more than a few seconds gets star trailing! Got me beat so far! I know, I must not be polar aligned. But I can’t be that far off! I could get longer exposures with my AZ evolution mount.

What do I try next folks?

All the best

Hemi
