Thanks Paul. I was able to get outside last night chasing sucker holes and trying to see how well I could guide with the hypertuned eq6 and the new setup in the observatory. I managed to get 5x4 min shots of M66 at about 12:00 pm last night. Was very pleased as I used the DSI II and was guiding with PhD at native fl of 2500 with my 10"SCT. Stars were nice and round with an OSC of .35 according to PhD. I thought tihis would be an extreme situation for any errors in the guiding but all was well. The pier is excellent in the observatory as while bumbling around in the dark I tripped over a small stool I used at the computer and fell on the floor but there was no jiggling of the scope/camera.
