Description

I'm trying to work the bugs out of my travel rig; went pretty well once I got it aligned, but my guiding suffered from periodic "reality excursions" where it just went nuts. I'm going to open up the mount in the morning and see if I can tell what's going on. That said, it only cost me 12 minutes of data, since I was shooting 2 minutes subs.
