Great write up too, very informative.

Hi Dennis,
thanks for your kind comments, glad you liked it.
Regarding "hand guiding": To explain myself better - I use a guidescope to visually monitor the tracking of the main 'scope which has a 50Hz variable frequency drive on the RA axis and a tangent adjuster arm for the DEC axis.
My hand controller has fast, slow and bias speed controls for the RA drive so I constantly need to watch through the guidescope to make "manual" corrections.
Hope that makes sense.
