Wes, I enjoy the time under the stars, but at my age, I am also looking forward to the automation and turning in at midnight, instead of 4 or 5am (LOL).

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.

I expected something like that but i dont even know if the dovetail on my OTA can be adjusted. Can i just unlock the DEC and RA axes and move the scope until polaris is in my the FOV? Yes, its 5.5x2.1

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.

Wes, The #2 stars started low in Draco and walked up thru Ursa Major then jumped to Gemini :) I had no trouble aligning at all. The mount tracked great and I actually took a photo of M42 and posted it
