It's night #2 and I hope to get guiding when the stars reveal themselves shortly. I must note that today I added a guidscope and solar scope to the load, rebalanced by removing clutches and realised I lacked enough counterweights, then removed solar scope and rebalanced again. Tonight I've switched the mount on, used "Last alignment" and have done literally nothing. Told it to slew to Venus and boom... it's not dead centre but it's by the inner crosshair circle.

What a luxury! I imagine it's best practice to run All star polar align again though for any fractional slacking.
