Hi Nik,

I think in my experience for capture, Firecapture is a winner which in my case includes automatic filter changes and guiding.

As well there is an image stabiliation (Auto Align) function, so if you tick that and Autoguide (and play around with the auto guide parameters) then you'll be on a winner and never look back - steady as a rock!

Yep planetary imaging in Melbourne is totally dictated by seeing conditions and not much point trying to image when the seeing is poor.

Clear skies.
