Thanks for sharing these images.
You are returning some good guiding accuracy, what is your LX200 12" riding on...the native fork mount? If so have you done any mods on it to achieve such nice guiding?

Mike,
Thanks for the reply...
Native fork mount it is. I've done about 5 PEC runs to get that down. Backlash in DEC is at about 4 seconds hence it's taken me a while to get DEC guiding working. No mods at all, they're all a bit complicated for my simple mechanical skills. Considering all I think the LX is spectacular value for money when things like this can be achieved, considering I'm imaging at 0.88 arcsec/pixel.
And yeah, I love going after the faint unusual stuff, even if it doesn't look like a masterpiece.
Roger.
