Well done. If you are new to this look out everyone in a few months. Start saving for more gear, you're hooked.
Yes I have a mount with a poor RA drive. It has terrible periodic errors that limit my exposures to about 30 seconds at 200mm, and even then I have to throw away about three trailed images for every one that I stack. I don't know how to balance my C8 telescope with a heavy camera mounted on the side. I do appreciate everyone's help.
