Another wonderful image Mike... congratualtions.
Please try my method of taking an exposure with the scope in home pos. so as to get some trails and adjust so they center... if nothing else it is fast..if it works for you that is.
Also have you considered a permanent pier?
I was thinking you could have a pier with the mount set on it permanet and throw a garbage bin over it... something a bit more imaginative but you get my drift ( oh no a pun sort of) ... I was going to do that initially and build a mini dome to cover the pier and just the mount something that just lifted off and then add the scope... I think you will fast approach the level where getting polar is a frustration simply because of the time taken when you could be cooking at the scope.
In addition you can refine it each night... I am so happy that I dont have to worry that much about polar now... I am getting hand guided runs of 9 minutes..nine minutes because I train the PE and take a photo at the same time ..the buzzer is a great timer for me as I dont have that sort of software in place.. and I add that it is only the RA running a little slow that I correct... if nothing else my recent Horse with a 1170 second run says polar is not bad.
Anyways great work you are doing fantastic captures.
