Progress report:

I rebalanced the 'scope. It was unbalanced as I had installed a Flattener and the new focus position was enough to unbalance the scope. Good tip thanks!

I tried setting the phd dec mode to auto, medium dither setting, Nebulosity dither error bound to the maximum (<.5), phd exposure to 1 second (2.5 sec didn't work) and the phd minimum motion to .25

It worked ok for 9x5 min exposures then it seems that it lost the guide star and when it resumed imaging all I got were exposures of streaks!

Any ideas?

Cheers

Andy
