Thanks Ray, Albert, & Jim.
It's the standard fork mount without a wedge. I know that's less optimal
for astrophotography, but it's what we have - at least until next
Christmas. :)
Thanks,
Kevin

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

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Alignment tips? - HS Student & EVAC member
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!
