Well conditions weren't ideal with patchy clouds and small wind gusts to throw off an otherwise decent first guiding test with the CGX.

Best 5 minute guided frame (uncalibrated) here : http://deography.com/tmp/5min-guided...brated-CGX.jpg

Unfortunately the guiding / PECPrep data is tainted by the weather, but generally the total RMS error was 0.77 when it was running well tonight.

(EDIT: screenshots removed due to errors in PHD config and weather tainting results ... more accurate one here : http://deography.com/tmp/PHG-Guiding-CGX.png )

Stack of 7 x 5m subs (mono Lum)

There is a definite vertical drift between images and elongated stars in some (but not all) of the the subs which I believe is flexure related as I got this with the EQ6 too and was sometimes tamed with careful adjustment of the guidescope position. I could be wrong.
