South Celestial Pole and drift correction
The drive and control to my Equatorial platform holds the object stationary in the horisontal, but occasionaly I experience a slow northerly drift which is sufficient to destroy the recording. Unable to sight the SCP I'm forced to set up using a compass. It isn't something I treat lightly and have read numerous articles, which require sighting stars at different angles. Is there a more simple solution to correct northerly drift? I must point out my recording time is short, around 30 seconds.
