A win

[Karlzburg (Karl)]

After banging my head against a wall trying to sort out polar aligning I think I cracked it, not my head that is .
After reading the manual for my mount as well as the controller I was able to get my mel to all zeros and maz to 4 secs.
I'm keeping the subs at 45 secs though I did try at 60 and noticed very minor star tails. Over 26 minutes and the nebula I think I've gotten moved bugga all 👍🏼.
I'm pretty stoked hoping to have some good pics to put up tomorrow once I've stacked and edited.

Awesome work Karl. There's nothing like a good win

Looking forward to seeing the results

Good on you Karl.
Where can I sign up for lessons.
I am using sharpcap and my next big thing is to plate solve.
Looking forward to see the images.

There's some masking tape for the wall for exact head bashing and some handles to hold steady once you start getting giddy only if getting the scope was that easy.

I haven't got any guiding software so for me it's getting it spot on and see what happens. Going through the pics now and not a lot of movement, did catch a satellite streaking right through and something else that started quarter the way through. I'll put those two up separately.
