Description

Found another gap between storms to get a better handle on my new setup. Took the time get accurate polar alignment and focus on this night and pushed exposures to 300secs. I saw guide errors down to around 1.3", which considering the seeing wasn't too bad, but also saw it jump up to 4-5". I was on grass using the spikes, but there wasn't any wind or cable interference, so not entirely sure of the issue. Maybe just not enough contrast in the guide images combined with bad seeing.
