My Polarie is coming with me to the States in May. Looking forward to getting some nice wide fields of the Northern skies and some time lapses over the Grand Canyon.  |
Polarie should be really easy to align in the northern hemisphere with Polaris being a relatively bright star and easy to find visually.
A time lapse over the Grand Canyon would be great.
There is a road along the Grand Canyon that goes on for ages. There are plenty of really good views away from the regular ones which are crowded during the day with lots of buses etc. So that may help with setting up.
