Thanks David and Ray.

Ray, I would use PHD2 - and have it installed - but it just crashes continually on my system (Win 7 64 bit). I cannot seem to find out the reason why. It either freezes up or simply won't un-grey the guide button. Odd. So, I use the classic version.

MaxIM is usually flawless guiding for me, but it continually gave me the "Star was not in all frames" message, which is perplexing. I even used the large bright star in a guiding trial to try to resolve that after giving up on trying with the smaller stars. Still same result. I tried exposures from 0.5 sec to 3 sec in MaxIM (with new darks for each). No go. So I went with PHD again.


Will lower the minimum motion a touch and see if things improve a little more. HOPEFULLY tonight if this wind goes away (I am fairly protected though - I image behind our 3 story apartment)

Thanks. Good to be imaging again after 6 moths!
