A Minolta X07 camera mounted on Dave's home made Scotch camera mount. The mount is polar aligned as follows: cross hairs and a projecting screw, the tip of which marks the position of the Pole star, are fitted at the top end of the sighting tube. All tht is required is the siderial time. The tube is rotated to allow for the time via a mark on the bracket and the tripod adjusted until the Pole star is on the projecting screw.
