Are you using the all star routine for alignment?

Very nice shot of NGC5195, too. Wish I'd been able to join.

Hey Croman, this time I used 4 calibration stars instead of 2, then I did the all star polar alignment. I did not have to re- align this time, go figure! I brought the auto-guider but forgot the laptop...so I had to take short exposures.

Thanks Patrick, join us next time, both of you!

One night you have to show me how to do an all star. I have no idea
