Autoguiding
OK so I have polar alignment pretty well sorted. Still refining it to get it better and better.
I am now going to try my hand with an auto guider.
I have two ideas. One is I have a nice little 60mm guide scope. The other idea is off axis guiding.
Forgive me if this sounds really simple.
Is it just a case of setting up the guide scope, camera and then connecting to the computer as a second camera. Then I assume you run something like PHD to help track choosing the relevant camera?
I figure I am going to need guiding at some point as I want to go for narrowband as the light pollution is killing my skies BIG TIME. This will inevitably result in longer exposures. As such guiding would be nice.
