Well Leon, how did it go? Did you auto-guide as well, or just tracking/imaging?

Thanks guys, last night was very good it tracked like it should have, I will be buggered if I know what went wrong, but at least I know all is well with the set-up.

Thanks guys.

Good to hear Leon. It can be damned frustrating. I'm going through a G-11 tracking/guiding episode myself right now too. My balance was THAT critical, that the weight of the finder was enough to upset the whole apple cart in RA. I've now removed the finder and it tracks and guides very well - with an almost flat graph. How does your graph look in PHD?

Chris it is funny, well not really, that you say that, I too removed the extra finder on the set-up, and it seemed to make a big difference to the balance :shrug:

But at least it guiding ;)

Leon :thumbsup:

good to see you are making headway. :) The G11 is a really good performer, last night i was doing 15min unguided exposures with my FSQ with perfect stars.

I was expecting sausages in my FOV lol
