That finder/guider attachment you made me has made all the difference in data acquisition I've found. One of the PixInsight gurus has recently developed a nice script for flipping through images, and its fascinating looking at an animation of 19 registered frames pre guider (the amount of bouncing, smearing etc when zoomed in on a single star) versus a dozen or so collected at the South Pacific Star P during an all-nighter. Nothing there CCDStack hasn't been able to do for ages, but really brought home to me the improved accuracy and productivity.
We're not talking Paramount guiding now of course, but for those of us keen to get decent results on minimal budget its VERY satisfying when you lock in something that consistently lifts the game for you. Thanks again Brendan.
(and also to Peter for kicking off the thread that reminded me to try this with a 2nd hand finder I'd bought for the purpose)
I'm not surprised to see you and the Newt collecting such great images.
