As you hit on I don't know how difficult alignment is in the south but all I have been doing until I get a polar scope is place polaris in the sight hole and at 50mm can get close to 3 minutes worth of an exposure and at 18mm I can get around 5 minutes, unfortunately for me LP is an issue though.
One day once I get the polar scope I'll get around to writing a thorough review but I absolutely adore it. |
There was some talk of an adapter for the skywatcher polar scope, but I don't know if that is just talk
A polar scope is most probably useless for the southern hemisphere of course..the astrotrac one I bought -at enormous expense I might add -is useless..I have to drift align to use the astrotrac (though I use I at 240 mm with the Borg 45ed and focal reducer)
I think at 18 mm the Polarie will be very forgiving
I don't have anything bad to say about the astrotrac, but if the Polarie can carry a PST, that's a killer app right there.
It's the lack of hassle that i think I will enjoy most?.and the absolute portability, take anywhere benefit.
