Drift alignment with Eqalign

[joselin]

Hi All

i trying to use Eqalign for my drift alignment, when doing the east/west part when do you stop ? when the two circles become merged or does the progam tell you ?

thanks

when they are so close its near impossible to move the mount

Thanks martin, that’s what I thought should happen.

Now on about the 4 turn the circles were close and it required just a slight tightening of the bolts i was then expecting the next attempt to show almost to adjustment need instead it seem to go back to where i started the evening at that point i decided not make that adjustment and move to the azimuth adjustment.

I went back to altitude adjust again and again it was showing a large adjustment needed. I'm going to take a single long exposure to check how much drift there still is.
