as always i deleted the pics before coming back days later to write about what i did

i think like 30s @ iso 1600 but who knows, the number of pics is even more of a mystery

i did also get a bunch of 10s pics to go with it, but stuck with just the 30s ones, i think because of star problems with the 10s but again i have no idea

also this was after changing the mounts guiding rate from 0.5 to 0.125 (also i turned on auxiliary encoders but i doubt that really did anything)
- i appear to now be getting many more usable pics now without tracking problems, still early days in testing but im gonna stick with it
