Thanks steve.
I must admit, now that autoguiding is working I feel like theres no stopping me.. The only thing slowing me down now is pointing accuracy, which seems rather inconsistant at best...
Last night, the mount landed M20 on the center of the CCD, missed M42 by about 5°, landed the flame on the ccd (had to tweak it to get the horsie in too) landed eta dead center in the CCD... who understands it...
