Messed up night, but...

[Marko of Oz (Mark)]

One of those nights where everything that can go wrong did go wrong. Must have bumped the mount at some stage so my polar alignment was way off.

I used the PHD2 drift align tool to tune things a bit and before I packed up I took 2 images of M20, The Triffid. One 5 minute and one 10 minute exposure at iso1600 to check the tracking/guiding. Seems pretty solid, for now.

cheers

Very solid Mark. Great test target too.

Looks like you got back on track Mark (pardon the pun)! The stars look nice and tight and some good detail coming through with those short exposures.
