Description

One thing I find difficult about using a tracker is I'm spoiled with GoTo, and my star hopping skills are pretty bad. When I shot this M31 was near the zenith. I could look up and see M31, but using a ball-head took some contortions on my knees to get my head looking up, and at the same time hold the camera without bumping the tripod.
