- Trouble understanding how to use my tracker.
I bought the Star Adventurer 2i and could use some help aligning it. I live in the northern hemisphere. I can find polaris using a free AR star finder app, but can't see it in the sky nor the dipper. Possibly too close to nearest city. Also cloudy kind of a lot in the northern sky.
I would like to take longer exposures of galaxy but primarily had filming eclipses in mind as well as seeing changes in sun spots. I get the impression that with a telephoto lens the rig is setup to shoot in the north sky versus away? I would think my camera would need to be attached parallel to the rotating arm to look at sun, moon, and galaxy?
