I did a large 250 point T-Point model last night and implemented the polar alignment mount adjustments (relatively minor sadjustments and I had just done 2 hours of imaging with quite round stars not perfect but good. Then I got eggy stars - what????
Used Pempro's polar alignment wizard and it had me adjusting the mount a LOT. What????
Stars were better but not perfect yet.
What a hobby!!
Imaging with this scope is awesome though. 3 hours at 60% QE of the Proline or 77% of the Trius just creates an image so quickly. It must take
1/3rd of the time a 5.5 or 7.5 inch scope at F7.5 takes.
A Tak BRC250 F5 I had for a while was also quite fast. This is faster again. I think 4-6 hours would be good for many objects and 6-12 fo galaxies would be plenty. That equates to probably 20 hours at F8 100mm aperture or 30+ hours for galaxies. Or 20 hours at F7 140mm.
