Up late finally got auto guide to work but the camera control did not do what it was supposed to in so far as I told it to do 90 second exposures and it gave a variety of times for exposures...so although I did do some longer exposures I really have not got it all worked out.
I was adjusting the mount all over and finally in disgust lined it up by eye and it was seemingly most reasoanbale...all that time playing pool has paided off yet again
.
Thru the 8 inch f5 reflector on eq6 unguided ( the mount seemed great and was good by itself out to 3 minutes with no guiding.
Focusing was a pain as it seemed things were jumping about a little up there.
But the sky glow really did not allow long exposure.
The cube did its job shielding the street light but I will have to position the lap top outside as its glow causes problems.
The capture here was the old reliable 30 second frames at 1600 iso with about 130 light frames a little dithering 10 darks and 15 bias frames.
Played in photoshop and gimp to the point where I dont know any more
Anyways this is my result.
