Looks like it’s a Alt-Az mount. I googled 'Celestron 925 CPC'. Is this on a
wedge?

Kevin,
Do you have an equatorial or alt-az(fork) mount?

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to send this, but I was having trouble
aligning my family's Celestron 925 CPC well enough to track for long-exposure
astro-photography.
I’ve looked up guides online and tried everything suggested in them, from
using two star alignment rather than SkyAlign, selecting stars far apart, and
finishing centering only using certain directions. Are there any things I could
be missing or tips that would help it track better?
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
(I'm trying to this as part of my my high school science project on
astrophotography.)
Thanks!
