Chris,
I gave the "Octane 15" a go last night and had my mount pretty well aligned in about 30 minutes. When I checked at the end of the night using Sirius, it had only moved to the edge of my reticule "box" after 10 minutes. For me this was one of those watershed events where you finally start to understand what you are doing. I don't think I've ever had my alignment that close!!
Unfortunately it was only a visual run last night and since deciding to maybe do some imaging tonight we've had storms come through Brisbane and rain and showers are predicted through till the weekend!!
So, I'll just have to go and play squash tonight instead...
Cheers,
Mario
