I seem to get better guiding using a seperate OTA and CCD than the self guiding. I think it has to do with the SBIG output to the Vixen Mount being not as controlled as PHD. The Vixen mount has some funny things going on inside of it!
Eta, well I was playing with it tring to maximise nebulosity without washing out the black in a photo editor (ACDsee).
Clipping, I am unsure what you mean?
Please note: I think my shrinking program seems to take the sharpness out of the image. They look heeps better full screen bitmap, but that is 20Meg +. I will have to play with the JPEG conversion and shrinking process.

As jase mentioned, the Horse head pic shows a bit of clipping in the highlights, but overall a pleasing set of images.
Can I ask why you were using a separate guidecam/scope? Doesnt the STL11K self guide???
