okay ... this seems to be the second issue i cant resolve (i still can't get a crisp view of planets in my camera) maybe i am doomed never to be good at this stuff. sooooooo, i checked the balance, perfect, little bit of an east bias, checked the polar alignment and in 2 mins the star moved a couple of pixels but it was pretty good. then i enabled guiding and ooohhh boy. i have attached an image of the worm so you can see what is happening, this is worse then before. it seems that the corrections do nothing and then completely over correct. the first worm shows how it went wen i just left it for a while and the second one shows me stopping guiding and then fiddling around with some of the settings, it doesnt seem to make much of a difference. the key thing to note is that the star seems to move away from the centre of the cross faster when it is guiding then when guiding is off
very frustrating, any thoughts would be good
