Thanks Ray.

The assistant is easy to use. You simply click start and wait say 2 minutes for the results to settle down and then click on finish and it gives recommendations for min/max move and exposure lengths. You can click on accept and it implements them.

Thanks for the test. Always illuminating. There's always trial and error with guide settings. I did some of this very type of check just the other night. In my case on an AP1600 4 seconds seemed optimum with 3 metre focal length and a MMOAG. Faster exposures got into correcting the corrections. Seeing wasn't that great at the time. I used to use 6 seconds on the PME and it seemed to be the best for it using a MMOAG at 3 metres focal length.

Greg.
