Suavi,
You’ve hit the nail on the head, ultimately enjoying the craft should always be at the forefront. I run a very rough and ready setup which certainly cannot be compared to the rigs in this forum however I can agree with the comments you make regarding camera tilt due to focuser issues. I have found this to be the case as imaging continues past the meridian and although I don’t run autoguiding my polar alignment is more than acceptable and holds its own in the east and drifts more as the scope moves west. There is a tendency for the rack and pinion I’m using to loose it’s grip during a session as the scope rolls with the ecliptic. As long as you can try and remedy the imperfections and taken on advice given that’s all you can do.
The knowledge shared within this forum is most enlightening.
Keep up your good work!
Anth
