Hey all. This might be a silly or simple question. I’m looking at imaging during the summer months with very short nights and lots of cloud cover. It seem like I might be able to get 3 hours of data tonight under the 90% moon. Then maybe wait a week to get more clear skies. Maybe longer :/
So the earth moves in space over that period. Does that mean that I will have to rotate my camera to follow the sky rotation to keep a relatively similar orientation if I want to combine data without too much cropping, or is the relative motion negligible? Does the date simply determine how high the target is in the sky at a given time? This is with an AM5 equatorial mount.
thx!
