An alternate to precise tracking of the moon for imaging purposes, might be post processing software used for stacking multiple images of the moon and planets (usually individually extracted images from a video). They use selected common points of reference (like central crater uplifts or other stand out points). I don't know how precise you have to be. but the moon also changes size during the course of a night, as the earth turns, moving the viewer closer or further away. Keith

your mount looks like it obviously can be programmed for non stellar tracking rate. starry night must have some way to set the tracking rate for an object you click on. -- benoit On Tue, Feb 1, 2022 at 7:24 PM Ajay Talwar via groups.io <ajaytalwar80=[email protected]> wrote: > > Ah, I rather should have mentioned my mount instead of telescope. > > Mount is Celestron CGE Pro.
