Hi all,
The new Alt/Az mount came in today. I have attached photos of how it will be setup for shooting astronomy objects.
It is an iOptron goto mount and is computerized to locate astronomical objects and then track them as I shoot long exposure.
I plan on doing some moon shots tonight for testing purposes. Later in the week, I plan on taking out to the west and away from lights of the city and test it on some nebula.
As long as it tracks well enough, it should work fine.
