Hey thanks Ray

Yes I must say the H694-SX Off Axis Guider combo is the secret here plus the small pixels I should have looked for a way to incorporate an OAG when using the big ProLine rather than stubbornly persevering with a heavy poorly mounted piggyback scope Trouble is having the Atlas focuser + OAG unit + CFW + ProLine makes for a very heavy setup mounted radially on a Newt even with the heavy bracing the AG12 possesses.

I hope to have a longer FL catadioptric at some stage in the future and I think such an image train would be more easily stabilised on this.

Mike
