Hi James, if you look at the first pic you'll will see the little 240vac 1/10 rpm motor attached to the RA drive shaft. It already tracks reasonably well but I'm going to increase the exposure time significantly so I will need to keep an eye on it. I use the blue scope (Dodgy modified Chinese 114 Newt) to find and check alignment with target between frames (or during exposure). My big issue is to get a good polar (drift) alignment to reduce trails during a exposure.
Celestron unit should arrive next week so whole new bunch of problems to resolve then.
