Thanks Wes. That’s what I was thinking given it’s a reflection nebula. I tried to process to pick up the dust lanes but to no avail.

Brian Hehe sorry I didn’t mean to offend you. Yes the polar scope must be collimated to the ra axis of the mount. It is necessary for its line of sight to be a true indicator of the ra axis pointing..

Hi Koen! If it must not be a powerbank from Explore Scientific , have a look at Amazon. There I find many powerbanks, that have also 12V output. Look at this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07QGC1MBC/r
