Dear me, and i thought you boys down under where a tough breed ....
I noticed it was clear last night at about 10.30pm, and got setup and was outside until 3am this morning, and made it up for work at 6am.
and i learned 2 very important lessons.
1. No matter how precise your poalr alignment (and now i have drifting dialled) if your mount is on a deck in the back yard, the slightest little movement will ruin an image.
2. If you fully extend the legs of an EQ6 mount, then even more caution is needed to not bounce the wooden deck up and down.
I am determined to crack this though, although i am starting to realise that if i am intered in photography, then by far my best bet is to have the mount on a permanent base.
