polar alignment

This is just one frame and a very minimal of processing, just enough to get a colored image, nothing more than ABE and histogram stretch. The main thing that gets me very chuffed is that it's a 30 min exposure! So at last I've got my alignment correct. phewwww

Nice round stars!!!!

( I know there's lots wrong but was only seeing how long I could expose for)

Try PHD2 polar drift alignment it make getting a 'spot on alignment' so easy if a little time consuming

I use Polemaster which seems to do a very good job and is quick.
