great colouration there, yellow core and blue arms, as it should be
Good handguiding too.
Hand guiding isnt too bad if the polar alingment is spot on, though I dont have an observatory, the mount itself is permanently set up, and well covered against sun and rain. Getting a nice bright guidestar is the key too, makes it so much easier. I also have my mount slightly out of balance so theres always a light load on the drive, avoiding slop in the gears and reducing periodic errors.
