Thanks Martin...

Last night was supposed to be a crack at guiding, on Horsehead & Flame... but, I encountered some power supply issues, it was getting late... I went for something familiar...

For focussing, I use live view zoomed in @10x with a Bhatinov Mask, manually on a bright star somewhere near my target. Last night was Canopus... I don't take an exposure though...

Seeing was pretty crappy last night & I also think my collimation was a bit off but, after the earlier challenges.. I kinda went 'f... it' & just got on with it...

Recently purchased a Rasberry Pi & Stellarmate software; ultimately plan to get everything connected & integrated & controlled off a 10" Tablet... but, that's not as straightforward as I would have liked..
