I'm claiming this one! I aimed the tripod of the G11 south using my transit compass, put the head on, leveled it, put the Fsq and st80 on, balanced it, wired up everything. When it got dark I looked through the polar alignment scope, I could see Octans near the middle. Spun it to align Achernar, switched on the reticle, and would you believe it? Not only the two main stars were perfectly in their slots, but so were the two ridiculously faint 'extra' alignment stars. I have witnesses! I did not touch any of the mount attitude adjustments, and was getting perfect stars at 10 minute subs.
Makes up for the time I wasted an hour because I forgot the PAS is an inverted view....
Cheers,
Andrew.
