I guess the minds on season for you northern guys would be similar to our current fire ravaged areas in NSW and Vic.For you guys cyclone damage and cloudy nights and for us fire damage and smoke filled nights ??
Anyway back on the topic of the Synscan Polar Alignment routine , during an advertisement or promo for the new Skywatcher EQ8-R and EQ8-Rh , Dylan O’Donnell mentions that the Synscan polar alignment routine is just as accurate as PA using a Pole Master via the polar scope. The difference being Pole Master with camera adapter costs around $550 and the Synscan PA costs almost nothing as comes with the hand controller. Pole Master needs a laptop but Synscan does not necessarily need a laptop as you can use a $75 eye piece
Pole master apparently has excellent reviews and is extremely popular whereas very few people talk about or review the Synscan PA routine which has been around for 10 years or more
Any thoughts on the above ?
