Thanks everyone. Not only the Q guider but the Orion Shorttube 80mm f5 refractor guidescope. It produces very small stars, just a few pixels across even on the Q guiders small pixels, allowing me to use 1/10th sec exposures with q guider, making it very easy to guide as the software allows me to enlarge the guidestar hugely.
Yes, if I focus accurately on centre the cometracker can produce small tight stars, but at the expense of stars at the edges.
Im getting out every night I can to make up for the bad weather, Im set up, and drift aligning well before astronomical twilight, normally Im on the object, guidestar located, ready to go by astronomical twilight. I cant wait for daylight saving to go.
