Had an hour or so's cloud-free time after sunset, and was able to set the little guider up and calibrate in PHD on a smallish star with .5S exposure. I then let it guide for about 45 minutes solid as a rock, until the clouds rolled in.
Based on that, I'll take the WO 80 and main guide scopes off the RHS of the mount tomorrow and do a rebalance, with just the C8 and the little guider on the LHS. Then it's time to try a few happy snaps.
I also had the QHY8 with a junk zoom lens piggy backed as well on the C8, but couldn't quite get to focus. I'd like to do some really widefield stuff with a good 50mm Pentax lens on the front, hope to have that set up by the weekend.
As I keep confessing, I lerv to tinker. Anyone for an EQ6 hypertune?......
