Dear Fred,

, Firstly, thanks for the kind words.

been fiddling and experimenting for the last 9 months and was able to pull 10 minute subs with my 8 inch newtonian with 1000mm fl.

After talking to Paul, I have now learnt a few rules...

1: No flexure
2: Accurate polar alignment
3: No flexure
4: Aim the guide and imaging scopes at the same thing
5: No flexure;
6: Uneven mount balance;
7: No flexure; and finally...
8: No flexure

PHD settings are important, but not as much as rules 1, 3, 5, 7 & 8

Dear Marc,

Thanks to you as well for the kind words.

Dear Kevin,

thanks for the kind words. May I ask what this clipping is? How do you avoid it?
