I'm afraid, this it is the only way for me to space travel. I was born 50 years too soon, otherwise I would be lining up to get on Musk's Starship.

Thanks Josh, it was a difficult capture as I was only able to correct the RA drift and the Moon drifts in both axes. I have ordered a cheap CNC shield that I will write some code for, and I will be able to make DEC corrections too. On the longer run, I will use a OnStep controller, just at the moment I don't feel like sorting out the multitude of versions that exist.

Thanks Andy, the main niggles will be with the recoating of the primary mirror as my vacuum chamber can fit max 10" mirrors.
