I have an old rickety tripod and the adjustments do more of jerk rather than and smooth move. It took lots of time on each shot to keep it centered. At 93m miles away, that's a tiny thing to focus in on.
We could not have had better viewing weather. No clouds at all and it was around 97 degree with very high humidity. 80 and low humidity would have better, but I'll take no clouds over cooler weather.
