It may not be fair to compare apples and oranges; or in this case precision EQ's with Sky Watcher Alt/Az Dobs, but I am starting to wonder if I should be content with an error of 30 arc minutes.  |
stu people that image would love to have it smack on like peter's 15 arc seconds wow!!!! for me 1 or 2 mins is fine at low power it is usually centre or very close,even at 200 odd times i can go from object to object and it is damn close to centre very happy...as for you doing your visual too and having to find things with finder scope isn't what you paid for 5 arc mins in your scopes specs is acceptable and placing objects close to centre low power..the distance of the moon out sounds like something maybe out of whack have you checked your goto system for any wear or movement.not familiar with your goto system but it sounds wrong to me.
