Thanks Greg, Fred.
Got all that. I am able to shift the guide cam in it's holder. That's not the issue. But getting a nice sharp focus doesn't seem to be within the means of the QHY5 at this FL. Still, with some Darks and goosing around I have been able to get guiding. I'm using a Lumicon giant OAG at this stage pending a decision to go upmarket. This is toe-in-the--water time.
I have been running a series on 6188 - seems a popular choice lately - just some Ha at the moment. The subs are showing nice round stars. I'm delighted with that. So clearly, this is what I have to do. There can't be any question of going back to any other form of guiding.
I'll throw someting up on the Deep Space thread later tonight after I have stacked a few of these.
Peter
