I did as Peter has suggested here and increased the setting to 100. No problems and when it lost the star due to cloud it just picked up again when the star re-appeared. Polar alignment with PhD2 is recommended for this to work well - I was doing 30 min subs again.

Thanks Allan.

That's good to confirm that it does that. So that was my only concern with it. Its a super program and is giving me superior guiding to Sky X.

Anyone using the free dither plug in? Not sure how that works. It would need to work with the camera wouldn't it? Otherwise it might to try to dither in the middle of an exposure.

Greg.
