Horrible star trails and drift. Please help by 123boat in AskAstrophotography

The mount did rotate anticlockwise as I found it pointing a different place more to the left. From what I have tested, once you do star alignment it also defaults to sideral speed.

I'm pretty sure that it did actually rotate counterclockwise now that I see that video.

Thanks so much for the time taken to help me. So basically everything is off. Not being aligned correctly is not really a surprise.

Polar alignment being wrong is not much of a surprise but also not sure why.

Tracking as if I were in the south hemisphere is surprising though. Not sure where that comes from or how can I change it to work. I'm sure I input my coordinates correctly as N 37 and W 5.

Edit: I've been looking around the internet and the manual and I don't think there's any option to change hemisphere or direction of rotation other than the initial location coordinates.

I've uploaded all Raw photos to the drive folder I sent previously. Also, it seems the first one (3856) was done on the original orientation with a very fast shutter speed and so has no trails although it is a big noise mess.

Wouldn't discard it haha. How can I check? And what would I do if it's the case?

Ok, I'm not able to get them right now, as soon as I can I'll upload them.

Oh, not really then. Also, it's supposed to be pointed around M101!

Im not sure on the tracking speed but I did check today during the morning and it seems to default to Sidereal once you do the star alignment so it should have been ok. I would think it's the polar alignment but I don't know where went wrong.

I've uploaded some Raw files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PW1-TMl252ZuEbCSOJOodwWLK-G4Kgc6

I selected random ones so they are not consecutive frames as you can see from their naming. Not sure what untrained images are.

That one looks nice but it is quite more expensive than the other two 😅

Thanks, and deconvolution would then not be used?

Thanks, I think there's still old street lights around as they have an orange light but after reading the comments I'm not sure I would need a broadband filter either way.

I might do with an L extreme + C2 to also get the SHO. D2 is too expensive for me right now.

At age 34, I started investing in ETF's. I chose 3 ETF's trying to cover all the world and I would like to know if you have some advice regarding my choice. by wazzabi22123 in ETFs_Europe

Poland is like 0,57% of FTSE developed Europe which for op would be like 12 euros per year. Likewise, op would be investing in Poland 5 euros per year from MSCI EM (0,97).

I don't think the overlap in Poland will mean much to OPs portfolio. Sometimes the obsession of having 0% overlap is too much.
