Description

I spent some time the other night working out some kinks in my mount. The newer versions of TheSkyX include an automated system for measuring and correcting PE, so I got that done and created a new PemPro model to try to refine my polar alignment. Once that was done, I spent a little time actually imaging, but still had trouble finding a useful guidestar near M13. Maybe switching away from an OAG and switching to a separate guidescope might work a little better for telescope of this focal length?
