Got a second hand 200p skywatcher newtonian in November on an EQ5 mount and added some clock drives. up until the end of the year I was struggling to get anymore than a 30 second exposure without significant star trails. Then I noticed one cold night that my polar scope was not properly aligned with the RA axis of the mount. Bang - one quick field fix later and these are 90second single exposure efforts. Canon 1200d 3200iso RAW with dehaze and some slight tweaking in lightroom. No filters no autoguiders but a shed load of patience. wish I could master the drift alignment method next or get a lightweight autoguider.
