Mainly making sure my (bearing replaced) HEQ5 mount is up to scratch, testing the auto focuser and Astroberry is working. Until I get a new camera I will have to wait for the really good images to come from my scope.
After updating the bearing (Tuning) the mount guiding is now between 0.65 to 1.2 arsec accuracy which is well within the green zone. Compared to my previous guide accuracy between 1.5 to 5 arcsecs a great improvement. The camera though does not reflect this increase in guiding accuracy though.
I am not ready to place larger images until a better camera comes or the target is best for the camera/telescope combination.
