Re: [APML] Sagitarius in H-a (stretched)

[George Anderson <tillerman1@videotron.ca>]

Hi Brian

Looks really good, are you still handcranking during your exposures? If
so, how do you cope with adjusting RA and Dec at the same time? Or do
you only bother with RA during your exposures?
Keep up the work, I hope to shoot some tomorrow night. Tonight I have my
mount apart installing ball bearings in the RA axis worm carrier and
tomorrow evening (I hope) a new dec axis axle to accurately match the
oilite bushings I installed in the RA worm last winter.

George

Clear skies and good health
