Terry, very impressed with the PE graph - when you say you turned the guiding off midway through the graph I'm assuming you are referring to the PEC guiding (or was this autoguiding?). The PE is noticable but does look fairly smooth unlike some others Ive seen for the EQ6. I'd imagine many far more expensive mounts would be challenged in comparing to the first 1/2 of the graph.
Presently away on hols in Brisbane sparky without email. Will give you an email when I get back to Canberra.
Thanks

The scope was being autoguided using my QHY type guider and I turned the guiding off half way through the graph. It was also sub pixel guiding as the guide scope has a focal length of 600mm vs the imaging scopes 1800mm.
I haven't bothered with the PEC as I would have to train it each time I set up and I now have a very good guider instead. It shows that it is quite capable of being guided well.
