I have really liked your timelapses and this is another great one. Have you detailed anywhere how you take them?

Thanks, the info is scattered around various threads. I should put it together as a tutorial one day.

Stunning work as usual there Alex, the panning effect is awesome!
Your brilliant work has inspired me and it was only last night that I tried my first go at it.



Cheers Daniel.

Being in the middle of a timelapse project myself, that is very cool Alex, well done indeed, inspirational.

An update for those that might find this thread later:

Looks like it was a bug in Synscan AZ firmware 3.04. I upgraded my handpad to firmware version 3.08 and the problem disappeared. The mount moves in line with the directional arrow button at every speed including sidereal (Rate 0)
