Problem?
The first night I had it set up I went straight to 2 minute exposures.
The for some reason I thought I'd revisit collimating again.
I checked again yesterday. The centre of the polar scope hardly moves off centre.
But the last 2 nights I've only managed 1 minute exposures. Why?
Over loaded mount? 2 cameras
Pointing west so going with motor instead of against?
At 2 minutes I'm getting enough elongation to drop back to 1 minute via trail and error.
Rechecked mount alignment and the octans stars are where they should be.
Good to write things down. I think I see my problem.
I balanced for one camera. 2nd piggy back? causing more noticeable backlash from RA motor/gear?
