I'm slowly finding my mark when it comes to polar alignment. Still not perfect, but when I have to setup/pull down at the end of a session I'm pretty happy with this result. I've included a copy of my original effort from March 2015. It was one of my first ever astro pics and at the time I was pretty chuffed.
15 months on I think my new image of the Tarantula Nebula is a personal best
