Get a polemaster. These are definitely worth the money.

Awesome. Your dedication is obvious in the amazing image.
Question: When I set up my mount and scope and polar align, I get varied
results one night to the next. Sometimes the tracking is super, other
nights good but not great. You must have had the scope aligned very
consistently night after night. Is there a technique to assure consistent
alignment and tracking?

Hi,
This is an image of NGC281, also known as the Pacman Nebula. It is an
emission nebula about 9,500 light years away in the constellation
Cassiopeia. It is called the Pacman Nebula because of its resemblance to the
video game character. It is associated with the open cluster IC 1590 in the
center of the image, along with several Bok globules near the center of the
image.
Comments and suggestions appreciated.
