I've been working on that archived data

My rig is not acting correct and the nights are better than Aug. I added some more data and still haven't ran it through PScs2. I think it's almost framed if I can just get my 497 handpad to stop going haywire on me , I'm just salty and my rig doesn't respect my feelings. I would love to be able to frame the whole galaxy and gather more data before it gets too high or into a tree. I don't have a clue and don't know when I'll be able too add anymore , I've done all that the lxd55 group has told me to try and still "it wants to act out" . Good news I've got an Atolla 7 usb hub on its way , get rid of all those cables that I've got to look out for. It's coming along ?

Nice picture!
Sorry to hear of the mount going haywire on you. So Frustrating!
I almost never shoot star clusters or constellations, but shot Andromeda last night. I was fiddlin around waiting for Orion to sneak up. And I was froggin around Northward. It's darker that way for me.
Then I went pickin on the Crescent Nebula.
Finally, Orion snuck over the hills, And I shot him in the quiver.
But I was having a time focusing. WiFi being a bugger.
Is it possible to try a substitute driving program for your mount?
I recently heard about folks doing that for failed motor drives. The motors still good, they would use a different computer program to run the RA and DEC motors.
I'll scratch around a bit and try to get back you you if I can find anything.

I use another program to follow my OTA through the sky but, my problem is my PA isn't accurate since changing out the grub screws for thumb screws on the PS. The fact that the mount fell off the AVP and socked me in the eye sure didn't help the calibration of the PS. It's something all the time lately, I do hope to get it together soon Sonny. As soon as my string of luck ceases and I get some nice nights in a row to work on some things.

Yes they are, last night was a great night but, SOS Centered polar scope during the day . I put it back on the AVP and later that night went out to chasing a star , isn't polar alignment supposed to put the alignment star in the fov? Tells me it's still off and still drifting.
