Yes; the gods are against me!

Been trying to learn drift alignment (DA) for a while, using an illuminated reticle, without much success! More like frustration!

Finally bought myself a lappy, downloaded eq align and been clouded out since!

Had a window of opportunity tonight, working my way through the manual while actually doing it with a toucam in the ed 80.

Limited success!!!!! Putting the star in the red circle, ah I see, adjust to the green circle, oohh this is good, only very small adjustments now!!!!!!

OH NO, clouds, clouds clouds!

Only 7 more sleeps till I have to go back to work. I've got to get this sorted. Funny, it hasn't even been 2 years since I first looked through an 8 inch dob, The learning curve continues!
