Well I have been up all night...and although a nice little guide scope sits where it should the auto guide wont work and the batteries in the illuminated reticle went flat so again last night everything was unguided tracking..... sometimes you get that.
But you can do stuff.... this happens to me a bit..but the mount gets real attention because it has to track without guiding it gets a lots of mechanical attention.
Anyways just see what you can get unguided...it will make you keen to get polar right and correct balance etc...but everyones comments about guiding is best and get a small scope is the final solution.
I think the longest run I got last night was 3 minutes thru 150 x 750 sn (reflector with corrector) but it was a great night I had to get something.
good luck
alex
