Re: My astrophotography 2021

No idea. Have you tried drift alignment? I want to but the MSM tracker is not compatible to any of the softwares nor guide scope. not sure if the software like PHD2 can be linked to the camera to do drift alignment? Isn't the MSM tracker for wide angle milky way shots? Not sure if it's sturdy enoug...

Re: My astrophotography 2021

hmm. is it set to the correct rotation direction (south rather than north, i.e. CW vs CCW)? what's the primary direction of the star trail? Yup, set to south and It tend to trail south west. No idea.
