As you correct for drift, the two lines of the V come closer and closer together, before eventually becoming one straight line.

Obviously, the amount of drift demonstrated by this is dependant on your focal length.


David- I have seen this technique on line but never used it- do you use the meridian RA only or then do the same for DEC in E/W also?

According to the website you need to copy the SSAGIF.DLL file into the EQAlign folder. Can't offer anything more than a webcam.

That's the problem- on the EQalign website (source forge) the link for the SSAGIF.DLL is not working.
Just an aside- Mal, I do have a webcam that I have never used for guiding as I have always used the SSAG- what camera settings would you initially use to make it easier to get guide stars? (Philips Toucam)
Cheers
