As I said with Mikes image, it reminds me of a giant celestial jellyfish difting along.

Thanks Ric, yes it does indeed look like a jellyfish, and so many stars in that region !

Don`t know why you need guiding but I hope you sort it all out!
Unguided I can go 3 min @ 200mm with 80% good on the g-8 and never get a bad one at 50mm even with a 10min sub. |
Cheers Gary,
I finally sorted out the problem, it was a faulty USB cable, I'm using an active cable now.
The issue with guiding really needed to be sorted out so I wanted to use the opportunity even with a wider fov.
I've always found your images fantastic and it shows you have great accuracy in polar alignment & balance.
Do you have a permanent setup or do you pack-up each night.
I'm still a ways off setting up an observatory so it's a real pain each time to setup and pack-up.
I must admit though now that my guiding is sorted, I'd prefer to use it with almost any fov.
