Probably my worst collection of Orion ever but they were taken in Sydney under the light polluted sky.. 73 sec 1600iso..the mount was not aligned and I had to hit the button every half a second to track it manually..but it seems as though there is hope as the nebulosity seems to be coming out.. How do you polar align when you only have a 30 degree window above.. it didnot pas the trees until 11.45pm.
It is drifting North which way should I correct I have given up trying to figure it..I thought I should increase the elevation but I gave that idea up when the dial said 40 degrees (Sydney is 33 approx) I usually take a time exposure of the pole and use it to adjust the mount so I have forgoten my drift training..
Anyways could not be happier as I thought the way people complain that I would not get more than 30 secs.
