Thanks guys. Yes big scopes + dark sky = happy place! Been doing mostly imaging from the suburbs lately but there’s just something about looking through an eyepiece…
Steve- yes I was platesolving through the 50mm at ~170mm fl. The eq8 hasn’t got the best GOTO accuracy (especially moving across the meridian) so I’ve found this method saves much time and frustration at longer fl. I started using it while imaging planets at ~8000fl or with binos at 400x + , instead of a flip mirror. I can usually get my target centred just needs a quick calibration at start of each session.
