Good work Eric

cheers for your compliments Paul. I go "all out" when the sky gets clear. stuff eating my meals, stuff going out, stuff my family and friends, stuff working at 9am the following day, stuff it all besides me and the scope. its badd and im guility of it. hey i even took monday off work so i can pull an overnighter on sunday .. hanging until im retired that means another 30 more years to go.

What are your settings for auto guiding - EQ6 and software ? I became frustrated with my setup as I was only getting about same exposure lengths with XCM2000 as I was with 350D before trailing became a problem and your guiding is always spot on so I thought I'd ask .... might get me on the right track next time I venture out.

Hi Steve, havent heard from you in while mate. what instrument do you play? yes for my autoguiding on the EQ6 + the DSI, i have complied a tutorial how to set this up here:
