Tonight is finally a sort of clear night (bit foggy).
I can now test the accuracy of the duel drive motors (mainly R.A.) on the EQ5 (with 120mm refractor) I bought for the SVAA.
First off, I cheated with the polar alignment
I polar aligned my EQ6. Then I put a peg on the EQ6's green laser to keep it switched on, and polar aligned the EQ5 to the laser
Then once the EQ5 was polar aligned I centred Canopus (way down low) in a 9mm EP, and set it tracking.
It has now been 2.5 hours and Canopus is STILL in the centre of the FOV!!!!!!!!!
I must say, those little motors are pretty darn accurate!
I'm very impressed.
