Re: [APML] LMC with TAK FSQ-106

HI Don,
             This is the set up (see link below). I use an STV, it works
well. The rotation is not centred on the middle of the frame. It seems to be
off the image. I know my East West alignment was OK but I think the
elevation was out and I must admit to being lazy and not checking it
recently. The closer I get to the pole the worse the problem becomes. I
expect with such a narrow field of view on the guide scope it would not be
hard to be guiding off the frame of the shot. In hindsight I should have
made the guide scope rings more adjustable. I will try however next moth to
be sure the two are in looking in the same direction.
