Glad you had a productive night Martin. Was good to get a few hours of clear sky on the coast.
Tested a few mount adjustments myself last night - though according to PHD2 things haven't really improved with it reporting huge DEC backlash. But it calibrated just fine & the guiding was pretty good. Sadly on my small mount, to adjust the DEC you need to remove the motor and didn't really feel up to it again last night. Now I need to adjust it & wait for another few hours of clear sky (next month maybe?) to test it again.
Was only using a DSLR last night but ASTAP showed some pretty severe tilt (30%+), but never got around to trying to determine whether it is the camera, reducer/flattener or the scope. Something else for the next time.
In the end just decided to grab a couple of hours on Centaurus A. Not even sure yet how it came out with the moon around...
Cheers
