Ouch Mike, that is not good news.

I’ve just set up the Mewlon 180 and spent an hour trying to orient my pitifully small 765x510 pixel CCD chip in the ST7 to include both M104 and Iris – it took some doing!

Also, the meagre sized TC211 guide chip (2.6mm x 2.6mm), with a whopping 192x164 pixels had problems finding a suitable guide star with the skewed orientation of the main chip. Added to that, the guide star corrections are bouncing around with a little too much of a large amplitude for my liking, but I daren’t touch anything now as it appears to be running itself whilst I type.

Cheers

Dennis
