Requesting alignment tips for ROB...

["Robert Creager" <Robert_Creager@LogicalChaos.org>]

Hey folks,

I'm in the process of aligning ROB, and it's a painful process (for me at least).  So far, my best progress is when DEC is pointing at the pole and RA is stationary and level.  I've then been making mount adjustments based the gradients of the streaking stars (E-W and N-S), trying to get the stationary star in the middle of the frames.

One reason it's taking a long time as I've been having to run all night like this, hoping for breaks in the clouds, before I can make an adjustment for the next night.

Any other methods, pointers, hints that others may care to share?

Thanks,
Rob
