Your photo looks very sharp, Richard.
I am currently trying to get familiar with polar alignment and related
issues of mount type and focus tips. I would enjoy hearing your views. I
have several OM-1s and OM-2s and will be trying for some meteor shots during
the Leonid and Geminid showers this winter.
One of my questions is whether I will get star trails if I put several
cameras on my scope after polar alignment... but the cameras are covering
different areas of sky?
As Ever,
