Thanks Alex, i use the 2 star and polar alignment routines on the hand set but have never found out what is a good or bad reading. the one below was the readout for this particular night.
i know there are other methods to polar align but they cost
i don't have a permanent setup, but i do run off the mains, so power isn't a worry.
i only have a motorbike so a dark sky sight is out of the equation
Cable management is cool as i only have 3 to worry about.
Is the weight bias you refer to so the motor is pushing slightly against the weight as opposed to holding it back?
Yes postage is in the lap of the gods atm mate. i hope it all comes very soon.
Thanks for all your help mate
