iOptron SkyTracker / SkyGuider (Drift Alignment)

[yyD70S]

Greetings,

Before I drop the vendor an email, would like to know if anyone has experience(s) with either of the above; if it's possible to do a basic drift alignment in our local sky context. A link on how to do a drift alignment in our Singapore sky would be much appreciated.

I would basically use it for basic wide-field imaging: DSLR + lens (up to maybe a 180mm f/2.8) ~ total weight about 2kg.

Warm regards.

Hi yyD70s,

Welcome to Singastro Community as i have little knowledge on the above, may be some other fellow Singastrorian can help ? If remember correctly, Dave and looyaa had used the Vixen Polarie instead and had produced some very nice results (in Nebula, Comets etc), so may be you would like to consider Vixen Polarie also ?

Thank you very much, Peter.
