Paul asked: RB what is your guiding setup? Manual or Auto?

Sorry guys I meant to say that it was tracked not autoguided. It was really late when I posted and tired. <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><v:path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></v:path><v:imagedata o:href="http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/images/smilies/ashamed05.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ANDREW~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ msohtml1\01\clip_image001.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shapetype><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[img] /><o:lock aspectratio=[/img]</o:lock></v:shapetype><v:shape id=_x0000_i1025 style=" /><o:p></o:p>

I used the Orion SkyView Pro EQ mount, 6 volt Batt for RA motor. Basic polar alignment. At 3 mins with 10mm lens it isn't as critical to guide.<o:p></o:p>

Thanks for all your comments guys. <v:shape id=_x0000_i1026 style="WIDTH: 18.75pt; HEIGHT: 13.5pt" alt="" type="#_x0000_t75"><v:imagedata o:href="http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ANDREW~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ msohtml1\01\clip_image002.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape><o:p></o:p>

Alex: toetoe & xrekcor: I agree the sky glow gives it some character.<o:p></o:p>

Mike: I will spraypaint my 300D black and give that back to him instead of 20D, hopefully he won't notice. <v:shape id=_x0000_i1027 style="WIDTH: 29.25pt; HEIGHT: 11.25pt" alt="" type="#_x0000_t75"><v:imagedata o:href="http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ANDREW~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ msohtml1\01\clip_image003.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape><o:p></o:p>

I'll send you a zip of the image Mike see what you can do with it. <v:shape id=_x0000_i1028 style="WIDTH: 18.75pt; HEIGHT: 13.5pt" alt="" type="#_x0000_t75"><v:imagedata o:href="http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ANDREW~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ msohtml1\01\clip_image002.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape><o:p></o:p>
