So, you are operating at 1600mm FL is that right? I am only at 1120mm so my Lodestar and the SX pick off mirror has a bigger field than it would have at 1600mm but (to date) I always have a guide star available in a 2.5sec exposure (without any specific framing) which is my standard now, so I'm not sure how I can help you? What guide camera are you using? What guide exposure length can you get to and maintain good guiding with the EQ6?
