However after doing the calibration and then just let it guide after the calibration the next image was the result. Before I was polar aligned mind you. (tbh that's better guiding than I was getting AFTER I was aligned previously  )
Anyway as mentioned above clouds stepped in and ruined my night before I could re calibrate or polar align. So will try again soon. but based on tonight's messing around I think a proper calibration and new alignment, along with some tinkering with balance of things, I might just end up where I need to be without opening the mount up. |
That calibration issue could be the result of poor polar alignment. Make sure you use the calculator on the Guiding tab of the brain to calculate a suitable calibration step size. You've got few too many there so the steps are too small.
You were correct to calibrate nearer the equator (to the north). You cannot calibrate at the pole.
