I have been off the imaging trail for a while with a series of distractions - work -family - faulty equipment - clouds etc. Finally managed to sort out all the gear again and get my autoguiding to a reasonable level. Last night I tried my Shoestring GPINT with an updated version of PHD (v1.5 pre 2). This means I can make guiding adjustments at less than 1x siderial rate - I hope this will lead to better performance...anyway attached is my test shot. Any suggestions as to the best rates to start out with for DEC and RA? (I tried .7x on both for this shot).

Not perfect but not bad (for me that is). Reduced 50% from full scale it is a stack of 13*5mins at iso1600 at f9. Processing, stacking in IP and PS.
