Good to know about the iOptron... so far I feel like I've been lucky with it. Last summer my first outing with it yielded the photo below, so I was more than slightly stoked.
What are the practical limits of time on the iOptron? Focal length dependent of course, but is it unreasonable to talk about 8 or 10 minute exposures at 400mm or so?
I know about the star rotation...we're the ones moving hehe! I just use "the stars move" colloquially, like "sunset" etc...
I think (if I'm phrasing this correctly) that my question was about tracking error in relation to the z-axis? In other words, that a hypothetical perfect barn door tracker is capable
of longer exposures than a hypothetical perfect iOptron Skytracker? Assuming they're both perfectly aligned and all...?
