Yeah, guiding has actually been the easiest part - this Vixen GPD2 mount tracks like a mount 10 times more expensive. Do an accurate polar alignment, fire up PHD or MaxIM guiding, and go to bed. I certainly could NEVER do that with an NEQ6 or HEQ5. The Lodestar makes life easy too - never ONCE failed to find a suitable guide star.

Here's a 400% enlarged, 20 min H-a sub star grouping crop from the edge of the frame - flat IMHO, and pretty decent in concentricity (all the LRGB was either 720 secs or 480 secs - perfectly rounded stars). Seeing the ENTIRE sub looks like this, it's not field edge coma
