Thanks Mario

its mostly the guidescope that is the issue. It's a department store special - a 60mm Celestron that I am pretty sure has a plastic primary lens. It was bought for my 7 year old son by his grandparents. It was so hard to use with the dodgy mount etc that he quickly lost interest. I used it to learn how to drift align before I got my newt, and have pressed it into service again as a guidescope.

Attached to that is my QHY5 guide camera which I used with PHD, with the camera connected directly to the ST4 port on the mount. I tried it through EQMOD last night, but didn't have any success - but I think the problem there was me - still learning....

What are the issues that you have been having?

Adam
