Another cloud-free night snuck up on me, after being cloudy all day. So rush rush, hurry hurry at twilight (Wine o'clock time too!) setting things up on the AM5 mount. Couldn't find any of the USB cables that I'd put away for safekeeping, so plenty of USB problems reared their heads.

I used CdC to slew the scope to the middle of the LMC as a pretty starry area at about 45 degrees elevation.

Anyway, the pics below tell the story. The first light pic 1 is without any adjustments since the last OCAL pics in December. Not too bad. I then tried a minor fiddle of the secondary mirror screws, but didn't spend much time, rather do a final fine tune on the bench. pic 4 and 5 are after twiddle.

BTW, Cuiv's latest hotspot setup worked a treat, my little ebay tablet was rock solid at the mount. I'll spend tomorrow recabling and then final star test.
