Astrotrac in the field.....a field anyway

[melsky]

Here's a shot of my Astrotrac in operation whilst trying to get a few snaps of C/2009R1 McNaught which I subsequently turned into an animated GIF. Power is supplied by a small 12v battery balanced on one of the leg struts (Maplins £15, runs it for 6 hours). I very pleased with the set-up, it's so fast to assemble and align, my CG-5 is having an extended holiday at the moment.
