I thought that was the idea of drift aligning?
Any ideas what the problem may be?
Hi JJJ, that's got nothing to do with your alignment. If you've drift aligned you're good to go. Depending where your guide star is you might have to bump up the calibration steps. So click on the brain and set your calibration time to 2000ms to start with. See if your star moves. If it goes too fast reduce it, if it still doesn't move enough increase it. Don't have to change your guide rate on the mount. The lower the smoother your guiding.
