Thanks Peter, I appreciate your email here but am not much familiar with the terminologies of Arc seconds and pixel sizes. Everyone's saying that PHD 2 is better because it works on arc seconds and that the Camera I have has small pixels therefore it should pickup the movement better and guide hopefully better. I can't goto an OAG because I specifically ordered the Lepus F6.2 Focal reducer for the CPC HD-Edge and everything has been made up to get the right distancing to the Camera. if I go with an OAG then all of that will have to be scratched and then I would have to sell my new APM guide scope and buy new spacers which is a bit of a loss and long journey.
My relevant question is will my curent setup work if I take say 8 minutes exposures as I can't go too long due to light pollution issues.
any thoughts ?
