I think this is kind of a "make your own barndoor tracker" thread, haha!
Thanks to you guys, a newcomer should be able to figure it out.

What battery pack do you suggest? Should be rechargable / come with a charger perhaps.

Photos of the LMC from last night after processing. A neighbouring Galaxy? No way!

Amazing I can get this without a telescope. This is also a non-darksite version. I might be able to do even better with the current gear and even longer exposures, as this is closer to the pole.
