Ok I had a chance to give it a test run tonight. First light! If there can be such a thing.. for a mount.

I ran the 2 star alignment + 2 calibration stars + ASPA polar alignment once after roughing it in, then over again after it was polar aligned. This allowed me to do 2 minute unguided exposures at a fairly long focal length (1480mm) f6.3 ... GOTOs were 100% spot-on.

Best single unprocessed sub here : http://deography.com/tmp/2min-unguided.jpg

Rough stack and process of 7 x 2m subs attached. Stars a little drifty but nothing that wouldn't be guided out already if I was. I will continue to hypertune the alignment though before moving onto guiding and those results.

Not bad for a hand controller alignment though, a promising start.
