Yeah, I know... had it tracking quite well last week and got a 71 sec exposure with just about no movement. I'm just not consistent with setting it up yet.

I've also been told to take lots of short exposures and stack rather than long ones - I'm confused (quite common)

Try this link flickr - should work ok.
