Guiding when imaging Polaris and the surrounding Integrated Flex Nebula

[ks...@facfin.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to image Polaris and the IFN around it.  I'm of course having trouble guiding whilst doing it.

I have done a proper calibration of my A-P 1600GTO with absolute encoders, and my SB MX+ and both are tracking very well for all other objects.

Is there a secret, I know my polar alignment could be a bit better, but other than turning off PHD2 and taking shorter subs is there something I could do?

Thanks,

Kevin

PS, I have Bortle 1 skies, I have the latest/current PHD2 on a Windows 10Pro machine

OK, thanks.

It might be a while.  I was doing several things that night, so as to not confuse things, I will try it again and then submit those logs.

 I also want to process the data I collected to see what is there.
