Hi Robin, Finally had a clear night and was able to fire up Sharpcap and get the mount aligned in under 5 minutes. Subsequently ran an automated model with TPoint and the polar alignment report corroborated the alignment to be within 30" of the NCP which is more than sufficient. Thanks again, g...

Thanks Robin, it appears that the heavy rain and high winds pushed the mount around quite a bit. I finally pulled the cover off this morning and found that the front leg of the tripod had slipped off a pad and onto the soil, very surprising considering the setup weighs well over 150 kg.

The inexpensive OV2710 based board cameras are nearly sensitive enough f...
