Thanks all. Yes Ive got used to staring at the guidestar, while listening to the late night or early morning sounds of the neighbourhood, the odd owl, sometimes a catfight, and trucks rumbling along the roads in the distance. I can often turn away for a few seconds and blink my eyes and have a stretch.
Many moons ago at a dark site in the old days of film I manually guided a 50mm f4.5 shot using ISO 25 print film, total time, 2 hours, one shot. Though, at least at 50mm it wasnt that demanding in accuracy.
Im thinking of that starchair that Houghy has, its height can be set to a comfortable level at the eyepiece.
Usually once or twice in the night mum brings down a coffee for me before she goes to bed, sipping on that whilst guiding is great. I even have the cordless phone and ive taken calls and chatted to mates whilst guiding away lol.
Homer Simpson Nebua.. I like that lol
