Oh by the way here is my technique for adding images later on;

1. I take a focus shot of the image.

2. I open an image from the night before and size it to match the focus shot (control 1, 2 , 3 ,4 etc one of them makes it the same size).

3. I now move the scope using the NSEW buttons to slew the scope slightly until the images match up (I drag one of the images around so I can line up a star etc so I get them the same).

Now you can select a guide star and start the autoguiding and you will have pretty much the same image. There will be slight rotation when you do the same object a few days later. I suppose you could rotate the camera slightly to compensate but I usually just crop the final image to get rid of this.

Greg.
