Nice image of the Needle galaxy I keep meaning to shoot that one myself, I started off doing planetary in this hobby 12 years ago, I were never up do Damien Peach quality but it were still fun so you should try it. Clear skies!!
Hey! Thanks man! It's a very nice project ;) I never got it to work on the Pi4 before, but on the stellarmate installation, also Pi4 it works. You do however require to feed it a course mount position, which I have not made available... jet. I can set it manually, and then it works pretty well. Much quicker than the astrometry.net. There is something different with it though that made me favour the online type for still. I''ll keep using it and perhaps it's proving to be a much better option. Cheers for watching!

Thanks! And I really should get into planetary as well. Summer shouldn't be an excuse to lay low 😉

I love the idea of building your own mount. Curious though why you didn’t use the plate solving built into Ekos. Runs ok on a Pi4.
