It's never really worked very well, but I've adjust it and it came to pretty good effect last night actually...was probably the closest I've ever had it, and it only took a few minutes. Didn't practice drift aligning though...I wanted to test a 10mm wide-angle lens a friend lent me to shoot the Milky Way. -------------------- Phenix 102mm f/5.9, Phenix 127mm f/9.5 and Orion ST80 f/5 refractors on EQ5 with GOTOStar Phillips SPC900NC, Meade DSI-C, Canon EOS 450D with 18-55mm IS, 28-105mm and 75-300mm plus 2x TC Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Drift aligning for east/west error Adrena1in 08/05/08 09:28 AM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error Jared   08/05/08 10:50 AM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error walt r   08/05/08 09:51 AM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error Qkslvr   08/05/08 10:08 AM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error Adrena1in   08/06/08 03:45 AM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error nimthor   08/06/08 11:25 AM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error Adrena1in   08/07/08 02:00 PM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error MartyT   08/07/08 10:27 PM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error Adrena1in   08/08/08 05:05 AM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error Jared   08/08/08 07:36 PM Re: Drift aligning for east/west error imjeffp   08/05/08 10:28 AM Extra information 6 registered and 1 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
