When you eventually get your guiding up and running you won’t believe the control it provides for your imaging , not just tight round stars but more detail from your object
One day I’ll jump ship and use a cooled Astro camera but still a lot to learn with the DSLR
Well done !!

Thanks Martin. The mono camera increased the work but it is surprising how more "crisp" the images become.
I think if I was not so heavily invested both in time and money I would be happy with a star adventurer and a red cat ... But here I am working to house two scopes and thinking of bringing the cube up from Sydney to house all three scopes...but without the demands AP makes on me I really don't think I would get out of bed...well after the back operation and before AP all I did apart from visit my Dad was lay on the bed ... But AP has me always doing something...and I must say I am rather proud of myself building both the observatories, particularly the one in Sydney..built mainly in the garage I had to get the part up the stairs...just getting up those stairs with a couple of shopping bags is an effort but 4 X 4 panels with framing seemed impossible for me. And then the computer side of it...I am like many old folk who find them frustrating but I persist. My brother in law on the other hand won't leave the past...won't have a smart phone or even the simplest mobil and just missed out on so much...oh and won't have a digital camera as they will never beat film. His ten years younger than me but it's like I am trying to talk to someone older than my Dad...
Thanks again.

The TS gear is very appealing, excellent build quality & optics by all accounts.
Congrats,

Thanks Tony. The data was poor. The graph in DSS showed like tooth picks but at 300 gain and 60 second subs I think I pulled off the perfect crime. But this slack approach is helping my processing skill particularly with overcoming noise so hopefully when I have the gain and triple exposure times it will all come together.
Thanks again.
