hey guys just an update as last night was the first night i had a real chance to try it after kulnurra (work/clouds kept interfering)
With the 80mm I had an incredibly accurate alignment, so much so that I had canopus centered in the viewfinder and then had to go inside for a hour so i left it there, and when I came back it was still in the exact same position!!! Wish I had set the camera up

Doing a goto on any object placed it dead centre and kept it there. Go the eq6
With the sct it was nowhere near as accurate and with the sct i was having probs finding the alignment stars, but had to pack it up as i had to get up early this morning for work. But at least I'm getting there.
