That $25 star tracker app turned my blurry 3 hour stack into something real
I spent 4 nights fighting with polar alignment on my old DSLR setup before realizing the app's little drift compensation tool was the missing piece, and now I'm wondering if anyone else has had a simple software trick save a whole imaging session?

Honestly that little drift tool is the only reason I got a decent Andromeda last fall, the polar alignment alone had me ready to throw my tripod in a lake. Software tricks like that save more time than any fancy mount upgrade I've tried, it's just a matter of finding the one that clicks with your gear. Once you got that fix dialed in, the whole session feels way less like a gamble and more like a sure thing.
