Test on autoguiding (Keyhole)

Hi Guys,

Had a chance to test the autoguiding port on the EQ6 last Thursday night with the DSI II. This is done from the GPUSB unit from http://www.store.shoestringastronomy.com/index.htm

Software used for autoguiding on the EQ6:
- Guidestar v1.1
- Virtual Serial Port
- Envisage

Guidescope:
- 4 inch newt
- DSI

Imaging Scope:
- 8 inch GSO newt
- DSI II

Processing:
- Registax for stacking
- Photoshop CS2
- Astro Tools

Dark frames were not taken as purely i wanted to test the autoguiding. Focus was off and bright moon so i wasnt about to post it stars are abit oval not sure if this maybe caused from the rough polar alignment.

Consist of 6 x 2minute 49 second .

Comments welcome.
