Raymo, that's a great shot and round stars at 100mm focal length with 45 second subs means you're getting pretty good polar alignment now. Happy to see you've sorted out those alignment issues.

I pushed my little Nano tracker right out to 2 min subs with a 135mm lens on Monday night and got 14mins (7 subs ) on the Witch Head. The stars are a little eggy and there is plenty of noise at 1600 iso on a warm night but at least you can see something. They're a lot of fun these little trackers once you find a reliable polar alignment method, their motors and gearing are quite accurate, even when nearing their maximum payload.
