Hi Paul, thanks for your response! for me it is really an issue the cost and ease of set up. If i can avoid using additional equipment and get the results, as demonstrated in this forum, harder though it may be, i was thinking that might be the way to go. I do have an LPI which i am told can be used as a auto guider, average though it is and an Ebook I can use to run the software, though i have yet to try it. Wishing i had an observatory so i could set things up and not have to pull it all down at the end of each session.
