Someone said "life wasn't meant to be easy" but I don't think that it was meant to be a hard as it is with a scope. My own tale of woe may cheer you up a bit. New set up on a permanent pier this time, so spent a considerable amount of time getting the polar alignment correct,good; then to getting all the bit and bobs talking to one another, good, now to take a few practice pics, good. this is in winter in Gippsland so not many night conducive to a clear sky, but in the end got everything going as it should, magic. So a clear night came went out opened the dome trained the scope on something to focus everything sill ok goto the object I'm going photograph that night, right in the middle of the lappy screen press go and PHD decides to have the night off. So I spent 4 hr fiddling and cursing and kicking the cat etc etc and then went to bed!
