Clouds shut me down at about 1:30 but that gave me a chance to do a preliminary stack of the data. A bit of a sprint rather than a marathon. I didn't even get the mount outside until after 9. Getting the kids off to bed first etc. Then setup, balance, drift align, etc. I'm not as proficient as I once was. Setup took a while as well as cable routin.. Remembering how robofocus works... Haha.
At least after tuning the mount it posed very little drama and ticked along doing its thing for the most part. The belt drive mod got rid of some very disturbing action I was noticing in Dec guiding and cleaning out the machining swarf smoothed out the rest.
I'm yet to get the mount under eqmod control but Ive got a us to serial adapter here that I'll wire up soon and be back in action.
