Cheers Rob. I was mainly working on getting the mount aligned and experimenting with guiding. The image was more of an afterthought and the helix was the only thing that was in a convenient place at the time. The ED80 is so much lighter and more compact than the newt and I was trying to eliminate other variables while I experimented with guide settings. I've recently switched to PHD2 - really liking the additional features and flexibility.
