Thanks Pat,
I'm finally getting confident with my polar alignment, now getting pretty close using Align Master, which is allowing longer exposures. I'm not using a guide scope and yet to attempt drift aligning. I'll try some frames out to around 60 secs and up the ISO to see if I get any trailing.
Still manual focusing using live-view,as my USB cable is not long enough to reach the laptop (need to get a 2 metre cable).
