I'm still asking beginners questions, and I'm sure this one will seem extremely basic, but I just want to make sure I have this right.
On an equatorial mount, my LXD75 for instance, if I have
perfect polar alignment and my scope is tracking an object in the sky, the only axis that should move is the R.A., right?
I'm having a heck of a time getting my mount aligned and auto-tracking well. My tracking software isn't working as well as it once did, and I'm sure it's due to a problem with my mount/polar alignment.
I think if I understand what's happening, I'll be better equipped to troubleshoot the problem(s).
