Once I have a guide star it locks on pretty well and goes from there, however as you say, it is sometimes difficult to find one in certain areas of the sky, I will give this a go tonight and see what happens.

How we learn from others, many thanks.

Yes, you should definitely check that setting because all CCD cameras are really quite sensitive and they should easily pick up a star anywhere in the sky.

I forgot to mention that with only a 0.5 sec expsoure my guidecamera (DMK) captured a lot of nebulosity after I changed exposure setting. I could easily make out the outer arm structure, no problem.
