No I did not use TEC for those shots, I connected it later on in the night though just to see if it works and had a run at the eagle nebula - but my objective was fogged up with dew by then and I was more interested in seeing if I could guide with this cam.

BTW do you run TEC for guiding also, IR/UV cut in or out? And which s'ware do you use - the Maxim package or something else (eg PHD?). I want to drive the Sphinx mount via ASCOM (Ethernet) and image with a Canon 20D connected to USB and parallel ports....is that anything like your setup?

Thanks for the input guys!
