About to spend remainder of day trying to work out best method for polar alligning my Heq5. This part is going to be rather confusing.
Might try this http://astronomy.abigbluesky.com/ind...without-polari method to get started. If i use a piggy backed phillips webcam to track using software do I still need to do a polar allignement? and would the linked method be sufficient for this? I am trying to avoid drift aligntment, that looks horrible! |
Drift alignment sounds horrible indeed at first but once you take the time to do it once it is by far the easiest and quickest way to polar align your mount so my advice is bite the bullet and learn it. There are heaps of tuts on these forums and in the
resources section.
