Thanks Rob..
Last night was my first night using MaximDL to guide and image at the same time.. I set it to dither by a maximum of 5 pixels, which moves the target by about 8 pixels in the imaging scope.. that is plenty to provide a smoother final image..
Maxim was difficult to grasp for guiding to start with, so many options and configurations that it really seemed daunting, and PHD looked like a nice simple solution. After a conversation with Fred (Bassnut) the other night, I have come to the realisation that lots of options and configurations = increased control and fine tuning capabilities. Control is more important than easy.. Control, once figured out, actually creates easy in turn.. Once its all fine tuned, getting good images is easier! ( Calibration in MaximDL is MUCH faster than PHD too...)
Hahha.. I wont be posting my NGC300 image.. Its horrible.. light pollution won the fight... I'll have another go at it from barambah next weekend if I find time..
Cheers
