Dave, With my previous setups (pre-observatory, just a couple of years ago) I could set up my Losmandy G-11 and align with the polar scope in roughly 25 minutes. The polar scope got me close enough to aligned that I could take 20 minute exposures without any trouble. Of course, I was shooting an focal lengths below 800mm, so tracking is pretty easy on the mount. Keep us all posted on your efforts.

It was quick and dirty. I need more aperture. That 8-inch carbon-fiber astrograph is looking more like a possibility. Wheel it out to the driveway, place it on the true-north line and get to it.
