Thanks guys for the encouraging comments! @Cataclysm: Still havent got my act together - perfection is when I can get the elusive 3 to 4 min subs and reduce the weight to 6 kg... must practice more on alignment. @Starfinder: I am obsessed with weight and use my kitchen scale to weigh all my astro ge...

Here are my steps to get rough polar alignment in the southern hemisphere which allowed me to get 1 min subs from a 270 mm focal length without further drift alignment. I do not own a Polar Scope for the Vixen Polarie and therefore rely on latitude and compass adjustments and drift alignment method....

Awestruck... . Just included it into my A-list of imaging targets

Hi Alfred, the FOV simulator helps me make a list of what are reasonable imaging targets for my Borg 45ED. But the downside is that I also use it to scout for scopes that will give a better FOV which could contribute to GAS (aka gear acquisition syndrome). I kinda regret selling the Megrez 90 cos us...
