I have got Star Tracker aligned by using an app called Skeye, this from google play..I use this to ensure the tracker is pointing to the south pole.. I use the Lat and Long to get the degree right.... I am about 35'C.. it a bit of pain of getting it right.. I have moved the tripod about and move the legs about or adjusted the knobs on the tracker.. I do a 20 sec exposure.. if all good.. I will take a longer exposure with a prob.. I took the Star Tracker out last night.. it was a bit wind.. made the exposure all snake like.. tonight I am going to try again.. this time it's calm.. I have got two photos from the first time.. I am very pleased.. Orion Nebula and Comet lovejoy!
