[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 811832, member: 48483"] .In 2020 I took photos of the AZ-GTi and the parts that convert it to equatorial tracking. Today I have it converted back to Alt-Azimuth configuration for solar eclipse (easier to polar align that way when no Polaris visible). But I have rain and all cloudy in my forecast October 14 so it looks like a no-go for me. [IMG]https://imgur.com/jekOwxu.jpg[/IMG] And in 2020 during my 1st year trying this I took these images.
