You’re guiding is really spot on mate! I’ve been struggling with my guiding / balance on the eq8 the last week and been trying lots of different things to try and improve things. I wasn’t sure if it was the sky or my rig but I think you’ve proved the sky’s pretty stable…
Thanks Dave,
Guiding a 6” newt at 900mm is a snack compared to a 14” newt at +2000mm. I take my hat to you blokes with these big scopes with super long focal lengths.
I chose Newts from 6” @ 900mm fl to 10” @ 1250mm fl so the atmosphere is a little more forgiving on my imaging

Cheers
Martin
