Very nice pinpoint stars again Jim. And up to 1 min.
Looks like you're ready for some Long Exposures.

Need to drop the ISO down and go for a really long shot to see what I can pull now.
Thanks for noticing.

I tried the Polar scope last night. Got a little learning curve to deal with.

Not as easy as it should be but make dang sure that you get it aligned on the mount or your alignment will suffer. I did top to bottom and side to side. When I spin the mount I still have a tiny bit of wobble but it's really close.

Then follow the video I posted. It will work out.
