First Light Guiding

Hi all,

After much playing around and spending money, I'm finally guiding. Based on advice, I've set up my guiding rig on one of my shorter length OTAs ( F/5 Newtonian ) first.

I've been playing around with the setup at home ( Bertole 8 ) skies which is never going to work for anything with no filter but this is more about learning guiding than producing anything worthwhile.

So here it is, Running Chicken Nebula ( yes I know you can't see it ). Single sub , 4 mins long @ ISO 100 .

I could have used my CLS filter but it doesn't fit with my coma corrector ( time to spend more money on a 2" UHC ) unless anyone can suggest a better fix. Incidentally this is also the first time I've used my coma corrector at the correct spacing.

I'm pretty happy and I'm now looking forward to using it at a dark site / with a good enough LP filter.
