That is a gorgeous framed pair, well done.

Exquisite, beautiful image.

A slight variation would be to taper the outside so that its slightly oversized the flange end. That way the weight will create its own "Lock", to move it just lift the weight and slide the bush.

Very nice images, does look a little lonely in the wide field.

Nice group of galaxies.

Cracking image, well done.

Are you not using the plate solving alignment ? It won't drift then. I'm pretty new to this lark but I've pretty much found a start up sequence that works. 1. Plug in and turn on everything. 2. Lauch Ekos, start indi, check everything is connected. 3. Polar align mount (not through Ekos) 4. Goto target. 5. Focus. 6. Align (plate solve) 7. Guide 8. Set up capture sequence and press go. This gets me close enough over several nights on one target.

Something like these. https://www.homebase.co.uk/our-range/garden-and-outdoor/fencing-decking-and-landscaping/paving-stones-and-slabs/paving-stones

No expert but I think a repair will be difficult especially if the board traces are damaged. Getting odd components is also very difficult .

Extension will work. These should be good quality https://www.lindy.co.uk/usb-c4/usb-extension-c222/15m-49-70ft-t53

Lovely proms.

Looking good.

Well done on finding the culprit. Hope you get some awesome images now.

Or stick a Powermate on it.

Looking good.

Nice capture, well done. I'm jealous.

I had decent results using some 40% translucent acrylic sheet 3mm thick. I taped some foam blocks to it so it will hang from the ew shield. Laptop screen set to white will work, get as square on as possible, you can take flats anytime. Do not change the focal length, keep it the same as your images.

A nice cluster of galaxies you've bagged. Looking good so far, should be clear tonight for you to get more subs.

Well done. Good set of captures.

Could be the grass or could just be more moisture in the air. Fan should help I would have thought.

If you generally set up in the same spot, how about 3 round brick pucks in the lawn. I think Ive seen them at garden centres.

That is a really good image for a first time, well done.

Lovely images, not seen them before.

Very good. I think it's Richard Bloch on YouTube has a few good PI tutorials.

Excellent shots, love the last three especially. That thin line of orange with the proms looks special.
