How long did it take you to polar/drift align on your roadtrip? |
Hi Mike,
I got to the site around 7pm. Just had my hand controller replaced. After polar aligning on slopy ground, by around 10pm i was ready to go. I 3 star aligned on Atares, but after that nothing else was correct. 2nd star may be 40 degrees off. After about an hour i realised it wasnt the new hand controller it was me, i got confused by all the stars, as opposed to Glebe and the orange star wasnt Antares. So by around 12 ish i was ready to go. Fortunately robofocus worked a treat, 35 seconds to focus.
So after, the Swan, Corona Australis, Dumbell and NGC 55 it was about 5am. No dew, the dew had all iced up
, i had two coats on, but still went for the blanket.
It's funny, I got 3 and half hours of data and it took ages, dont know where all the time went. This week if it's not cloudy i will try Glebe skies and the Triffid again, Ha, and OIII to add to an existing image i posted last week.
Still I got some good snaps, and will do it again.
