Thanks
Thanks for your comments everyone. Good to hear I can do a fair bit of useful work before I need to head out and buy an ed80 and/or an Eq mount.
I have taken some cool pictures of Kookaburra's sitting on distant poles as well. Some photographers seem to use the set up (with triplets and ed80's) to take some razor sharp pics of birds as well.
I have some poor but enticing images of the Great Orion Nebula - learning that is hard to get the colour nebula and not have star trails. Surely need to track to do this.
I have tried once to polar align the alt-az Meade. Terrible job first go, but I will have a crack at drift alignment. I bought the scope with a home made fixed wedge (set for the Gold Coast), so I suspect I won't get super long exposures in Brisbane on it.
