What camera are you using,what scope are you using?do you have autoguiding or do you guide manually?
Hi again mate. I'm using 2 scopes at present, a 5.5" F3.6 schmidt newt & an F4 8" newt.

I was using the modded 900nc up until a week or so ago, but now I've gone a 400D.

I can't auto guide with the EQ5 (no electronics on board apart from the dual axis drives) & I haven't been bothered manual guiding as yet.

Yeah, I'll be trying the UHC-S filter tonight to see what comes of it.

I'm having fun by keeping it simple at the moment

Cheers.
