Just purchased an Astrotrac & tried to align without the scope. This shot was taken @ 200mm, f/6.3, ISO 800 @ 15 seconds. Some cloud was passing, but I don't think they look too bad.

Heya,

Seems to be working at least. 15 seconds at 200mm with no trails, something is going right! haha.

Now you just need an object to hone in on, and a clear sky.

Very best,

Thanks MalVeauX. Looking forward to getting a clear sky & finding some nice targets. I'll also need to get away from the city lights.
