What ticks me off more than anything is:
1. first REALLY decent night in AGES
2. was planning on 3 straight hours on Barnard 33
3. Set up in a REALLY really dark spot, secluded from wind etc.
And all for NAUGHT!
I have unplugged the autoguider and have been letting the mount track M42 for 25 minutes unguided now - will go and check it and see how far it is off NOW!
At least I got some visual in in frustration. Jupiter is MAGNIFICENT tonight, and I can clearly see nebulosity around the Pleiades stars, as well as M42 showing green, with a perfectly clear trapezium.
I cannot speak highly enough of my Vixen FL102. What a scope.
As to the Chinese mount....见鬼 (I am sure some of you can read that!)
