Wondering if anyone has made a barn door tracker before? I know there was a post previously on this forum regarding that, but unfortunately the pictures are currently inaccessible.

Or drop by Astro Scientific to talk shop with Albert too. :) Thanks lots for the advice!! Anyone else has any more experience to s...
