Thanks mate - I think just getting guiding happening will solve most problems, but would be interested to compare the Baader to the GSO.
Tried Helix again tonight and couldn't even find the wretched thing! Its magnitude is 7.6 and it was simply invisible with any eyepiece, whereas the mildly brighter Omega Nebula (mag 6) was easily visible even through the camera viewfinder. Dunno what it is about the Helix, but it simply doesn't want me to see it...!!
I'll come back to it in a month or so. I ain't giving up.
