Description Tommy LKW 2018-12-03 13:07:58 UTC 
SUMMARY
The essential idea of the method is to make one long exposure during the mount is moved on East and then back to West (or in reverse in the southern hemisphere) if the polar alignment is perfect the result will be a flat line, in other case the track in the image will have the shape of the letter V. So you have to make corrections till the track becomes a line.
