Thanks to the creator and all the contributors of OnStep I now have a low budget, wireless,
highly accurate tracker and GoTo system. I’m now able to polar align the mount, do a one
star alignment and then go inside and do everything else from my cosy warm sofa - no more
hours of freezing in below zero celsius here in Norway for these night time photos.
