Dont worry about your Gotto. You probably just rushed your polar alignment a little.
Great work!!  |
Thanks John, I hope you're right. I did a one star alignment on Antares and it slewed a fair way south of where it should have been pointing.

Thanks Martin, the scope is a no name brand but resembles a Saxon 8 inch. This was captured by the cameras internal video function of Crop mode where it only uses a 800X600 pixel array of the full sensor pixel array thereby producing a 1:1 pixel ratio. Great for planetary as it also shoots at 50fps. I convert the cameras .mov file to .avi format in Pipp. From there I run it through Autostakkert and Registax where it is sharpened with final touches in Photoshop.
