What got you hooked on captions in the first place? I started because my roommate always had them on and now I catch stuff I never heard before. Do you ever go back and rewatch a show just to see what else you missed?

Wait, did the mount really fix your shots, or did you just finally get a clear night? Because I fought trailing for months too and mine turned out to be a loose ball head, not the lack of a tracker. Dropping $180 on used gear is great when it works, but I've seen guys buy a tracker and still get egg stars because they never balanced the rig or polar aligned right. Andromeda at 90 seconds is a solid start though, so don't take this the wrong way. My real question is whether the money went to the mount or to the learning that came with it. Sometimes the cheap upgrade is just the thing that forces you to slow down and do the basics.
