The mount seems to be working ok, but last night wasmy first night out with it, It would'nt go to any object I entered in, I think I messed up when inputting my time as 'standard' time, the mount woul always slew about 2hrs to the right of wherer my target ought to be....something to sort out :oops:
Keith..

Thats a great wide field image of M57 and its neighbour stars...unusual to see.

Nice sketch Deirdre
