QHY5 with Guidemaster 2

Re-configured the camera for use with Guidemaster which I prefer as I get better control over the guide parameters and a visual confirmation of the tracking and drift. The first results are attached. The on - screen image seems less bright that with PHD making it a little harder to select guide stars - but the control, sub frame and drift alignment tools make it worth the swap imho. Guiding was to +-2" which is as good as I think I am entitled to expect out of this equipment...
