Hi Guys/Gals, well, the bugger just dose not want to guide.
As in the last post, PHD spat the dummy, and for the last two imaging sessions just went off track after the first exposure.
To make a long story short the Mount, a G11 is perfect, it has been serviced and all is well.
When fitted with all the scopes and gear it is balanced to a penny weight.
It will go to anywhere i tell Gemini to go to and is spot on.
I find a star, power up PHD and calibrate, It dose and then after 30 seconds it is all over.
I have been doing this same stuff for years, but now it wont play with me.
Anyway, the fact that I have a permanent set-up in my Observatory got me thinking.
We, and others have had a sever drought, about 10 years worth, and it struck me, because of this the ground has dried to a crisp.
I just wonder if, because of this that maybe my pier has moved slightly, and is way off the SCP like it used to be.
Do you guys and girls reckon I should do an other, Drift Alignment.
Thanks In Advance.
Leon
