Matty, Thanks, I quite like them, I've got a much wider crop of my 47tuc image as my desktop background.. That and the omega shots are perhaps my best deepsky shots yet despite their tiny size in the full field of view...

Guiding.. well.. I've got all the bits and pieces, but PHD can not move the mount... So i think that the cable I have is wired wrong... I've lined up a new one thanks to Robin (Tandum)...

I've found that finding guide stars can be a problem on some targets.. M8 was no issues, 47tuc and omega cent were near impossible, mind you they I was using the 8" newt with the DBK so i wasn't looking at a real wide fov... I think once the side by side bar shows up and i can guide with the ST80 I'll find more stars...
