Just think how much better they can be once you find that elusive southern hemisphere celestial pole!
Today I was going through some of the panorama photographs I took on Saturday night and noticed that there is a guy sitting on the floor with a computer and his dslr mounted on a ioptron, this has to be you! I'll post it in the next few days once it's finished 
Hope to see you there at the end of this month, weather permitting of course and we'll see what we can do about polar aligning that mount of yours!!
Here's a thread regarding the ioptron and some methods used to polar align them http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=104352
See you then!

Hi Carlos
It was me you saw, I was the only one there with the iOptron Skytracker
Thanks for nice words about my results, I'm also quite satisfied
I will definitely do what I can to come to Crago at the end of this month! I'm just hoping to be able to catch a ride with someone going there, at least from Richmond, as the bus only goes up to Grose Vale despite of the timetables saying it actually should go all the way to Bowen mountainpark.
So last time I had to walk all the way from Grose Vale with my gear
. Luckily I cought a ride back to Sydney (Glebe) with Dean who lives very close to (Ultimo).
Regards
Anders
