NEQ6 star trails
Hi there
Got my newly acquired NEQ6 mount with ED80 aboard. Trying to figure out how to eliminate these damn star trails.
Even 30-second exposures the stars are about three times as wide as they are high, if you get me. Not insignificant.
I've leveled the mount perfectly, aligned it as closely as I know how to the celestial south pole, entered my exact coordinates and done a three-star alignment.
I understand what drift alignment is, but haven't tried it yet. I'm laboring under the belief that the above should be enough for it to sort itself out... guess not, huh? Is the star trailing entirely down to my polar alignment not being good enough?
