Thanks Bojan,

I'm sorry, but this polar alignment thing is NO FUN AT ALL!
I had forgotten how unpleasant the "back to basics on the cold
lawn" business end of astro was !
I have given it away tonight after half an hour...

Steve

Only just stumbled onto this thread today. Pretty ingenious way to recycle old stuff

Beginning of the IIS Back to Basics Challenge?

Steve,

Have you stated an IIS challenge here?

This is more fun than discussing DDM futuristic wiz bangers.

Could easily start a few projects a la drainpipe refractors etc.

Good on you, can't wait to see Scooter carrying a drainpipe refractor and a webcam

Keep the pics flowing.

David

A few more pics.
Comet 103P Hartley2 and a shot of the LMC from this morning.
Bad gradients, polar alignment out, not saved in DNG RAW, but
nevertheless, a reasonable indicator of tracking.
