Wow, hand guided - well done ! Samson mount - brings back memories. I used to have a "Delux German Equatorial mount" from Astro-Optics (or I think they were called "Amateur Astronomers Supply Co" back then) which they used to sell prior to the Samson I believe. I remember one night after a couple of hours crouched over the guidescope hand guiding a few shots, when I realised that the exposure on my Praktica camera was set at 1/1000 of a second !##$%#! I guess you've heard it all before ...
