Thanks Guys...even though a little too grainy to my liking I was happy with the result.

Scott I may not get a chance at this target again as it is moving too close to our Brisbane city lights westward.

Scott no visual spotting...I have not looked through my scope for 6 months.

My process now that I have the awesome SBIG st402XME guiding through the ED80.
All I do is select the target on my PC Starry nights then take a 2 second image via the Sbig/ED80....95% of the time the target is in the fov...great mount the Losmandy G11....then I just center the image using the SBIG like a webcam by selecting focus and it keep's taking 2 second or whatever time exposures you want ...once centered I know the guide scope is aligned the same as my imaging scope so I am now ready to start imaging.

It's great using the ST402XME as a guide/target spotting scope.....anyone want any eyepieces....lol
