Thanks all.
Yes I guess I should send it off to some of the magazines for them to consider
The LMC's position worked out well, as once Id located a guidestar, the guiding eyepiece was at a comfortable height while sitting in a garden chair. As the imaging wore on the eyepiece got higher, I sat on a pillow then still higher, so I got my gas lift bar stool. The last image was taken with the stool fully extended.
Indeed Id love an autoguider system, but Id need a new mount. (if I won lotto Id be ordering a Losmandy G11 in a flash
