Took me 4 hours to realize my star tracker was off by 2 degrees
I set up my Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer for a Milky Way shot last Saturday night. I spent forever leveling the tripod and polar aligning, but every single 2 minute exposure came out blurry. After 4 hours of messing with the settings and almost packing up, I noticed the declination bracket was loose by like 2 degrees. Has anyone else had a tiny setup issue wreck a whole night?

Eh, come on, you're basically saying your whole night was wasted because you didn't bother to tighten one screw? A quick check before you started shooting would have saved you all that time.
