First Autoguide test on homemade GEM

This is a first for me.
After a few half hearted attempts at getting my
Bartels stepper drive GEM to autoguide, tonight I made some
big steps towards serious autoguiding.

Using Phil's Orion SSAG mounted on the main 12" Newt , I used
PHD and fed commands to the generic LX200 scope drive via serial.
Guide scope was the 50mm MiniGuideScope.

The main imager was the DSI II pro mono at 1524mm FL!!!!

Here is a set of 60 sec exposures stacked. This field is very small!
Stars are round

Happy chappy
