Hi all,
Well after trying out the "Polemaster" camera and software package on Monday night, I am dancing with joy about the polar alignment I have achieved. Took a couple of tries to ensure I was doing everything right. Afterwards, I decided to see how long an unguided image I could get with good PA.
Below is a 3 minute raw sub (just an iPhone snap of the BYEOS screen during a series of unguided runs). This is pretty representative of all 20 subs I did on Helix. I was using my unmodded 1000D so there aint much colour to it but after all it was really a test of the PA and the tracking of my AZEQ6 mount.
Pretty impressive me thinks.
