I think it is time to lock this thread. There are plenty of other forums that are more relevant to DSLR intervalometers and what the best one is for any particular use. Sorry.

Cool, thanks for the answers! Sounds like plate solving is simple enough to do for me and my unpatient self. Will give it a try when the weather is on my side.

Hi chaps, I can assure you that I achieve at least 2 minute ( I can push 3 minutes) exposures without trailing with my very simple set up. My approach is, 1) centrally position Polaris in camera live

JR Great work. The finding home procedure you showed is a Manual method of the process I wrote that uses the precision movement capability of the mount. The method is detailed in a paper in the files

Thanks Max! I'll take a look at it - I love this little mount and believe it to have a lot of potential, especially as a travel setup. Brian

Thank you Jerry for the input. That was a question I had about locking onto the brightest star in my FOV with my 50mm guidescope. I will give that a try tonight.

Mike PhD advises you to have calibration within 10 or so degrees of Dec =0. Also you should be a few hours off of Polaris in RA. Something like south east at 90-lat altitude is good. In practice thing
